What I'm looking for

I seek a research- and education-focused role in a collaborative institution where I can lead antivenom and diagnostic research, mentor students, secure funding, and translate lab work into clinical impact.

I am an Assistant Professor with over 13 years of teaching and research experience in medical education, laboratory diagnostics, and snake antivenom research. My work spans advanced laboratory techniques such as ELISA, HPLC, and SDS-PAGE, and I have supervised multiple student research projects while publishing in peer-reviewed journals.

I developed grant proposals that secured significant funding (over 29 lakhs) and served as a scientific officer managing immunization, plasma processing, and immunoglobulin fractionation following WHO guidelines. I have contributed to national and international scientific forums and completed professional certifications in health professions education and project management.

I am committed to curriculum development, student mentorship, and translational research that improves diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes. I seek roles where I can apply my laboratory expertise, leadership in research supervision, and experience in antivenom production to advance scientific and educational goals.
