I am a postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Florida, USA. I earned my bachelor’s degree in pharmacy from AKTU, Lucknow, in 2015, followed by a master’s in pharmaceutical biotechnology from NIPER-Hajipur in 2017. During my master’s, I conducted a one-year research project on DNA repair mechanisms in Leishmania donovani, the parasite responsible for Kala azar (black fever). In 2017, I began my Ph.D. at the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (CSIR-IHBT), Palampur, under the mentorship of Dr. Amitabha Acharya. My doctoral dissertation, titled “Functional Carbon Nanomaterials and Their Conjugates for Biomedical Applications,” focused on developing nanomaterial-based strategies for biomedical use. Throughout my Ph.D., I published several peer-reviewed research articles and contributed to multiple book chapters. Currently, I am conducting postdoctoral research in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology at the University of Florida. My work focuses on understanding mitochondrial function in the placenta under oxidative stress and exploring cell death pathways in the context of malaria infection and preeclampsia. My research bridges the fields of pharmaceutical biotechnology, nanomedicine, and infectious disease biology.
