Project Leader 

"I have done my masters in Microbiology, and post graduate diploma in medical lab technician (PGDMLT). I also have an experience working in Pathology lab and contributed in National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL). Currently I am studying Wildlife Microbiology and carrying out my research on "Comparative study of gut microbial diversity of captive and free ranging sloth bears" with Dr Nishith Dharaiya. I am honoured to be a member of the International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA) and the WCB Research Foundation. In addition, I am representing Asia in the Student council of IBA. My future goal is to study health status and understanding nutritional needs of sloth bears as my doctoral research and to contribute in sloth bear conservation as a microbiologist."
