M.Sc (Biotech), Ph.D., MBA (Edu. Mgt.), FLS (London), MRSB (UK), AMRSC (UK)
A dynamic and accomplished researcher with over a decade of expertise in computational biology, drug discovery, and multi-omics analytics, I am currently seeking opportunities to leverage my interdisciplinary skills in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or healthcare IT sectors. My work integrates molecular dynamics simulations, structural bioinformatics, and AI-driven drug design to address critical challenges in precision medicine, antimicrobial resistance, and cancer therapeutics.
Key Strengths
Research Leadership: Published 108+ articles (Q1/Q2 journals) with a Scopus H-index of 20.87 and 2,255+ citations (Google Scholar). Led 3 funded projects (ICMR, AYUSH, MAHER) on drug-resistant infections, oral microbiome biomarkers, and BRCA1-BARD1 interactions.
Technical Proficiency: Advanced skills in Python, GROMACS, AutoDock, NGS analysis, and AI-based tools for biomarker discovery and molecular modeling. Developed bioinformatics portals (PHP/MySQL) for academic institutions.
Innovation: Filed 2 patents (acupressure device, AI-based face detection) and edited 2 books on computational genomics for personalized medicine.
Teaching & Mentorship: As an Assistant Professor and NEP Nodal Officer, I designed MOOCs on molecular docking/dynamics and mentored students in bioinformatics and drug design.
Administrative Acumen: Streamlined university operations as Assistant Registrar, leading NAAC/UGC compliance, ERP coordination, and faculty evaluation systems.
Career Objective
To transition into an industry role where I can apply my computational biology expertise, project management experience, and passion for translational research to develop innovative therapeutics, diagnostic tools, or AI-driven healthcare solutions. Open to roles in R&D, bioinformatics, precision medicine, or scientific consulting.
