What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster research and innovation in biotechnology, with a focus on collaborative environments and career growth.

I am Anjali Kumari, a passionate biotechnologist who recently completed my master's degree in Biotechnology from Hyderabad Central University. My academic journey has been enriched by a research-oriented environment that allowed me to delve into the complexities of Drosophila melanogaster, focusing on mitochondrial mutations and their potential roles in neurodegeneration. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms but also ignited my interest in biophysical and biochemical approaches.

Throughout my studies, I have been awarded the INSPIRE (SHE) fellowship and participated in the prestigious Summer Research Fellowship Program at Jawaharlal Nehru University. My hands-on lab experience includes working on microplastics and their effects on aquatic life, as well as mastering various molecular biology techniques such as plasmid isolation, protein purification, and ELISA. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to innovative research projects that address pressing biological challenges.
