What I'm looking for

I’m seeking research opportunities and a Master’s programme in Microbiology.

At the University of Hyderabad, I characterized organelle morphology and function in Vps13-deficient budding yeast through mutant analysis and microscopy-driven structure–function studies during an Indian Academy of Sciences Summer Research Fellowship.

In my ongoing undergraduate research project, “Probiotic Bacteria and Secondary Metabolites from Fermented Millets,” I’m isolating and preliminarily characterizing probiotic bacteria and secondary metabolites.

At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, I’m pursuing a B.Sc. (Honours) in Microbiology, with a CGPA of 8.6 through the sixth semester.

I’ve contributed to five publications: three journal reviews and two book chapters. I’ve also presented posters at conferences including GREENSHIFT 2026 and ANUJEEVAN 2025.
