Alok Kumar Pandey

I am a PhD in Biosciences and Bioengineering with my bachelor's and master's degree in Pharmacy. Offering a solid foundation in scientific research and passion for advancing knowledge, currently, I am in pursuit of a post-doctoral position to continue my research in the field of molecular biology. cell biology and biochemistry. During my PhD, I have published three research articles in peer reviewed journals, demonstrating my expertise an skillset in the field. Although my PhD research focused on malaria and hemolytic diseases, I am highly interested to explore distinctive area of biological research by exploiting my knowledge and experience in above fields.
