The MPG Team

I am a post graduate from Banaras Hindu University and recently doing my thesis work with Dr. Shankar Manoharan. In my post-graduation I have worked on wound response of plants. That gave me a good exposure in molecular biology methods and on-field research. Currently, I am working on the role of gut-microbiota in establishment and progression of type 2 diabetes in India. Apart from research, I love bike riding and cooking delicacies.

I joined the department of BSBE, IIT Jodhpur in July 2019 to pursue my Ph.D. Degree. I have successfully completed M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Amity University, Noida and graduated in Biomedical Sciences from BCAS, University of Delhi. During my graduation, the area of Microbial genomics had fascinated me a lot, which helped me decide to further explore the topic. My research work focus on understanding sRNA mediated regulation in the nosocomial pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Apart from research, I like to read fiction and play badminton.

After pursuing M.Tech. from the department of BSBE, IIT Jodhpur, I have now rejoined the lab as a Ph.D. student. I had received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Physiology from North Bengal University & Vidyasagar University, respectively. My Ph.D. project work focus on the regulation of virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
