Shyam Tripathi, M.Sc., Ph.D. (thesis submitted), is a dedicated microbiologist and Junior Research Fellow at SRM University, Delhi-NCR. He has contributed to ICMR and DSIR projects on hospital wastewater treatment and multidrug-resistant uropathogenic bacteria. Previously, at ICGEB, New Delhi, he worked on antimicrobial peptide synthesis. Shyam is a co-inventor of a patent for a synergistic antimicrobial composition for neonatal sepsis (2025). He has published research on antimicrobial drug combinations, resistance trends, and biofilm management in journals like Indian J. Microbiol. and Mater. Chem. Phys., and authored review articles on CRISPR/Cas diagnostics and AMR. His book chapters cover drug repurposing, AI in antibiotic discovery, and nanomedicine. Honors include first prize (oral) at DET-EAS 2025 and second place (poster) at the 2024 International Conference on Antimicrobial Resistance. He has qualified CSIR NET (AIR 27), GATE, and ASRB NET. Shyam’s technical skills span bacteriology, antimicrobial resistance assays, cell culture, molecular biology, and rodent surgery.
