About Me
I am a budding research scholar pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Biosciences & Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. I completed my Master's degree in Zoology (with a specialization in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology) from the Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University (B.H.U.). And I did my B.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Calcutta. I have been awarded the prestigious Prime Minister's Research Fellowship in the year 2021. My interest in tissue engineering and drug delivery led me to join the group of Prof. Samir K. Maji at IIT Bombay. Currently, I am working on using peptide-based amyloid hydrogels for various biotechnological applications, such as drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications. Additionally, I intend to look into the use of amyloid hydrogels in diabetes models as a drug depot. I hope that my research will make a significant difference in the healthcare system. Apart from my research work, I am an avid reader and I love to explore new places and meet new people.
