Akshata Bhagavati - Doctoral Research Scholar
I am a postgraduate in Applied Genetics, entering the world of research with deep curiosity and enthusiasm. Having qualified CSIR-NET (LS) in December 2024 and GATE (BT) in February 2025, I am now embarking on my doctoral journey focused on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. My research explores how physical factors influence its motility, biofilm formation, and persistence on medical devices. By investigating the bacterium’s remarkable adaptability, I aim to generate insights that could inform better infection control strategies and contribute to combating antimicrobial resistance.
Sucheta Bharti - Project Assistant | bhartinipu2000[at]gmail[dot]com
I am currently working as a Project Assistant, exploring the fascinating world of bacterial mechanosensation with plans to pursue my Ph.D. in the same field. Before joining the lab, I completed my Master’s degree at the Dayananda Sagar University, School of Basic and Applied Science, Bangalore, and gained research experience at Hazaribagh Medical College, Ranchi, where I studied the characteristics of various viruses. My present research focuses on understanding how mechanical cues influence rheosensation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Outside the lab, I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, traveling, and dancing.
Niveditha A S- 1st Year Masters Student | Nivedithaas16[at]gmail[dot]com
I am passionate about understanding neurodegenerative disorders, especially their link to lifestyle and dietary habits. I am currently preparing for competitive exams to pursue a Ph.D. in research. My ongoing work involves using the Drosophila model to study neuronal responses to virulent Pseudomonas exposed to mechanical stress. Alongside my academic pursuits, I’m learning German and Japanese, and I enjoy fencing, archery, and skateboarding in my free time.
