Learning Bioengineering, I’ve gradually understood that industries are the heart of an economy, however, abating the resulting pollutions caused by these is the biggest hurdle in view of public interest. Graduated in Biotechnology and further specialized in Environment, my ultimate aim is to seek a long term career in such an organization, which would enhance the efficiency and dynamicity of R&D in order to alleviate a portion of such a problem. I wish to be a human resource with utmost effectiveness, possessing good professional and interpersonal skills for the welfare to all forms of humankind and to be on par to the best interests of my country at challenging positions. Off the track, I find myself involved in singing, traveling, and writing.

Working towards elucidation of novel platforms for diagnosis of tuberculosis. Developing cheap and easy detection methodology for the disease is an immediate requirement for the world, and I am keen towards developing such a platform. An avid reader of books, I have interests in gardening and painting.

My empathy towards science and sustainable environment steered my career towards environmental biotechnology and its multidisciplinary aspects. In the last few decades, the advent of rapid industrialization and inadvertent use of natural resources witnessed enormous environmental pollution. Herein, microorganisms play a crucial role in restoring the functioning of the ecosystem. Towards this, my initial days of research was channelized to investigate the underlying uptake mechanism of recalcitrants in microbes through determining the role of biosurfactants, proteome expression and enzyme activities. In the process, the biosurfactants produced by the microbes facilitated the biogenic synthesis of various nanoparticles for biomedical and industrial applications. Taking a cue from these studies, later, I explored the possibility of using proteomics in tandem with morphological, physiological, and biochemical attributes to select the stress responsive genes for deciphering the molecular and cellular effects of recalcitrants in microbes. Through all these research endeavours, apart from microbiological assessment, I gained the know-how of enzyme technology; proteomics; toxicological assays; singular and hybrid immobilization techniques; microcosm studies; and the scope of biology in nanotechnology. Taken together, the research journey towards this end will definitely lead to refinement of our current understanding of global response of microbes under stress and assist us in achieving holistic solutions to have a clean earth to thrive in.
