@swathilakshmi1
Biotechnologist working across bioinformatics and molecular biology; co-authored research on a plastic-degrading microbe and won Best Paper at GCLS 2025.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I co-authored research on isolating and characterizing a plastic-degrading microbe from an insect's gut. The findings were published in the International Journal of Fundamental & Applied Sciences, and our poster received the Best Paper Award at the International Conference GCLS 2025.
For this KSCST-funded project, I designed and executed work to isolate and screen microbial strains capable of plastic degradation, including full degradation analysis. I also presented the research poster at GCLS 2025.
At NMKRV College (Autonomous), I performed microbial isolation, culturing, and morphological characterization for a project on Aspergillus flavus. I presented that research at the National Conference on Contextual Approaches in Applied Microbiology in 2023.
As a Mentor at BYJU'S The Learning App, I delivered virtual academic mentorship and addressed students' subject queries. I’m interested in bioinformatics, molecular biology, and healthcare research, and want to bring my lab and computational skills together.
