I am a dedicated academician and biomedical scientist with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Delhi and over a decade of combined experience in research, teaching, and academic mentorship. My expertise lies in medicinal plants, natural product chemistry, molecular biology, and anticancer drug discovery, with a strong emphasis on translational research and mechanistic studies. In addition to research credentials, I bring substantial teaching experience at reputable institutions, including the University of Delhi, SRM University, and Sharda University. I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in biotechnology, microbiology, and biomedical sciences, with a strong commitment to student-centered learning and curriculum development. I have successfully supervised and co-supervised over 15 postgraduate dissertations, demonstrating my dedication to mentoring and academic guidance.
