About
I am a researcher with inquisitive mind and own 7+ years of experience in biomedical research. My core research area includes Molecular Immunology, Cancer Biology, Ayurveda, Integrative Medicine, and Computational Biology.
I pursued Ph.D. in Health Science in the industry-academia consortium of Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. and Savitribai Phule Pune University. This doctoral research encompassed exploration of Ayurveda-based botanicals to address chemotherapy-associated myelosuppression and multidrug resistance in cancer. It includes development of animal models, establishment of 2D- and 3D- cell culture laboratory, techniques in cell and molecular biology.
I honed my skills in network pharmacology tool, experimental design, proposal and protocol development, research methodology, and illustration development etc. My research could appeal reputed peer-reviewed journals and I also serve as a reviewer to esteemed journals.
