Bioengineering student focused on probiotic and regenerative medicine research.

What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to contribute scientific knowledge, analytical skills, and research enthusiasm to a dynamic organization, especially in biotechnology research focused on probiotics, stem cell research, and regenerative medicine.

I’m a final-year B.Tech Bioengineering student with a strong foundation in microbiology, biotechnology, and laboratory techniques. I’ve gained hands-on experience in probiotic research, qualitative biochemical analysis, and microbial culturing.

In my research experience at Dr. Dy Patil International University, I developed a probiotic formulation using Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei strains. I performed microbial plating and culture techniques to ensure strain viability, and I conducted qualitative phytochemical analysis (tannins, saponins, oxalates, phytates) to evaluate functional and nutritional properties.

I’m also excited by translational biotechnology—especially stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Through internships in wine fermentation operations and biomedical instrumentation, I strengthened my ability to run production/instrumentation processes carefully, maintain accurate records, and troubleshoot minor issues while working effectively in teams.
