Prachi Singh

About

I am a molecular biologist with a strong record of contributions in viral vector analytics and microbial genomics. During my Ph.D. at Sardar Patel University, India, I studied the microbial ecology of extreme environments, uncovering unique microbial community structures, functional dynamics, and stress-tolerance pathways. This work resulted in five peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals.

In industry, I developed and validated analytical methods for AAV and lentiviral vectors, supporting regulatory submissions for gene therapy products. My contributions improved assay accuracy for genome quantification, potency, and purity testing, accelerated product development timelines, and ensured compliance with GMP and ICH standards.

I am an active peer reviewer for journals including BMC Genomics, Scientific Reports, World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, and Frontiers in Marine Science, demonstrating sustained engagement with the scientific community. My work bridges fundamental microbial insights with translational applications in viral vector therapeutics and biotechnology.
