What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in research.

I am a dedicated research fellow with over 3.6 years of experience in molecular biology, plant immunity, and genetic research. My expertise lies in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing, complemented by hands-on skills in PCR, enzyme assays, and bioinformatics tools. I have contributed to innovative projects, including CRISPR-based gene editing and the study of plant disease resistance mechanisms, which have significantly advanced our understanding in the field.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a strong publication record and have gained valuable mentoring experience. I have supervised undergraduate and postgraduate students, guiding them in laboratory techniques and fostering their development in molecular biology. My commitment to research excellence is reflected in my certifications, including CSIR-NET and GATE Life Sciences, which further validate my knowledge and skills in this domain.
