What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to research and development in nanotechnology-driven diagnostics, cancer screening, and drug delivery while continuing to grow through collaborative laboratory and industrial research.

I've conducted nanoparticle-mediated biosensing research for cervical cancer screening at IOTA Diagnostic and IIT Gandhinagar through the Gujarat State Biotechnology Mission IBTP Program.

For my MSc dissertation at the Central University of Gujarat, I investigated nanotechnology-driven enhancement of hesperidin's anti-cancer potential in lung carcinoma cells, focusing on plant-based drugs and protein-based nanoparticles. My laboratory work includes gold nanoparticle and DNA-based nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, cell culture, microscopy, DLS, FTIR, UV spectrophotometry, and gel electrophoresis.

At Ahmedabad University, I mentored more than 140 students, developed educational materials, and managed grading for Foundation Course exams and projects.
