Dr. Amisha Patel

About

I am a biotechnologist with research interests in enzyme technology, microbial bioprocessing, and sustainable bio-based product development. My work focuses on exploring fungi, yeast, bacteria, algae, and plant-microbe interactions to develop innovative solutions for industrial biotechnology and agriculture.

I specialize in integrating molecular biology, microbial fermentation, high-throughput screening, and analytical techniques to translate laboratory research into practical, scalable applications. My research aims to bridge fundamental microbial sciences with applied bioprocess development to support sustainable industries.

I am passionate about collaborative research that combines microbial diversity, process innovation, and sustainability goals, contributing to peer-reviewed publications and interdisciplinary projects in the biotechnology domain.
