Priyanka Sharma

About

I am passionate about development of drugs against human infectious diseases with specialization in antimicrobial and antimalarial research. I am interested in bio-innovation and entrepreneurship.

I have specialized hands-on expertise in antibiotic bioassays, antiplasmodial assays, mammalian cell culture, chromatography, GCMS, LCMS, SEM, confocal microscopy, enzyme assays, Mass Spectrometry, ELISA, FACS, PCR, sequencing, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, basic Biostatistics, Computational skills and in vivo experiments.

I am well-versed in writing research articles and proposals and overall lab management. I have trained my colleagues and several students in India and abroad.

I worked towards promotion of innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem in Northeast India and across by networking with budding entrepreneurs and mentoring them, conducting startup and bio-innovation workshops and outreach programmes.
