About me

* I am working as an Investment Consultant at Invest India - the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency of the Government of India. My role involves imparting diverse strategic, technical, and operational consultancy to increase investment in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.

* I recently completed PhD from the University of Queensland, Australia. My project focused on structural studies of venom toxins with the objective of understanding chronic pain mechanisms in different disease conditions. I have strong interest in structure-based drug design (NMR, cryo-EM, Julia programming) and neuropharmacology (mammalian cell-culture, peptide production, and ion channels).

* Previously, I pursued Masters in Biomedical Technology and Bachelors in Bioengineering from Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, India.

* I have diverse background in academics and co-curricular activities (competitive soccer player). I intend to be at the forefront of biomedical technological innovations. I enjoy scientific entrepreneurial debates and problem solving.

* My long term objective is to contribute towards novel and sustainable medical innovations with the aim of improving health scenarios in developing economies.
