ANKIT AGARWAL

About

I am a passionate and detail-oriented research scholar with good troubleshooting skills. I am skilled in good lab practice and possess technical and analytical proficiency. During my PhD, I worked to understand the fundamentals of biological processes like DNA repair and recombination pathways in mycobacteria. I am currently scouting for opportunities to use my research experience and technical skills to contribute to translational scientific research in the Life-Sciences and deliver on dynamic and challenging projects.
