I am a Postdoc researcher with experience in academia and research, holding a
Ph.D. in the Faculty of Science (Biotechnology) from Panjab University,
Chandigarh, India. With a background in genomics, I focus on multi-omics
approaches to investigate microbiome dynamics, aiming to uncover novel insights
I am Vikas received Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. My research interest is analyzing gene expression data using machine learning and fuzzy learning, and currently working on genome-scale modeling to understand the genotype-phenotype relationship.

I am a postdoctoral researcher passionate about uncovering how the gut microbiome shapes human health. I earned my Ph.D. in Life Sciences and Biotechnology from Kyungpook National University, Korea. My research has focused on T cell senescence, neuroprotection in Alzheimer’s disease, and immunomodulatory therapies for inflammatory diseases. With expertise in immunology, neurobiology, and molecular biology, I aim to develop microbiome-based therapeutics to promote health and healthy aging.
