Overview
Research Interests
As an Associate Professor at the University of Delhi, South Campus, an Institution of Eminence, I bring 18 years of research expertise. My journey began with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Microbial Biochemistry from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi.
Teaching and Mentorship: In addition to my research, I’m dedicated to nurturing the next generation of scientists. I’ve had the privilege of guiding and mentoring students, helping them explore the fascinating realms of microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioengineering. As an international career counselor, I guide students from primary to higher education in India and abroad.
