M.Sc. Plant Biology graduate specializing in plant biotechnology, molecular biology, and translational biotech research.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I hold an M.Sc. in Plant Biology with a strong academic record and a B.Sc. in Plant Biology and Plant Biotechnology. I focus on plant biotechnology, molecular biology and applied microbiology.
I have hands-on experience from internships and short-term projects in microbiology, advanced molecular biology, nanotechnology and bioinformatics, including work on tyrosinase-producing bacteria immobilization and characterization of biological preparations. I presented research on bacteriocin production and activity at an international biotechnology conference.
I completed additional training in medical coding, billing and transcription, and coursework in drug discovery, drug development, drug policy and forest management. I am proficient with laboratory techniques, microbial isolation methods, and MS Office tools.
I am innovation-driven, with awards and research grants recognizing my academic and project work. I seek opportunities where I can contribute to translational research, apply rigorous lab practices, and grow within a collaborative biotech or research team.
