What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in a collaborative environment, where I can apply my skills in biotechnology and contribute to meaningful research.

I am a biotechnology student with a strong passion for learning and contributing to innovative research projects. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in microbiology and laboratory techniques, which I am eager to apply in a dynamic R&D environment.

During my dissertation at Dr. R.K. Garg, I honed my skills in DNA extraction, agarose gel electrophoresis, and centrifugation, all while adhering to established protocols. My summer internship under Dr. Rupa Guha Nandi allowed me to explore soil analysis methods and the identification of microorganisms, further enhancing my laboratory expertise.

With excellent communication skills and a commitment to continuous learning, I am ready to take on new challenges and contribute to impactful research that promotes a healthier future.
