Tulinkita Patnaik, completed her Master’s in Life Sciences with a focus on Zoology, where she researched antimicrobial peptides in ants using microbiology techniques. Qualified in GATE, she is now advancing into bioinformatics and genetics, focusing on the genetic causes of male infertility. Her work aims to improve patient diagnosis and treatment by studying Y-chromosome genes and understanding disruptions in testicular germ-cell gene expression that impact spermatogenesis.
