About myselfCurrently, I am working on computational epitope based vaccine design and development against human pathogenic and dreadful microbes (i.e. SARS-CoV-2 variants and Human papillomavirus) for the last five years. Earlier, I started my research career as a biotechnologist in 2009. My postgraduate dissertation work focused on biochemical markers on the rooting of Casuarina sp., clones at the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding (IFGTB), affiliated with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. I continued researching the green synthesis of nanoparticles and their biomedical application on cancer cell lines during my Master of Philosophy at the Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, India. Then, I was passionate about the drug delivery mechanism of nanoparticles, which emphasizes my doctoral research towards the formulation of nano-encapsulated oral and topical medicines (i.e. tablet and ointment) to treat type II diabetes mellitus and the consequence of diabetic foot ulcers. Further, my postdoctoral research in Turkey (i.e. green energy) and China concentrating on interdisciplinary research aspects (i.e. Computational Immunology). I have prominent creativity, responsibility, and flexibility with the scientific team and their working environment.
