Summary
I am an aspiring Biochemist and Master’s Candidate at the University of Delhi, specializing in molecular parasitology, organelle biology, and drug discovery. Currently investigating the impact of PEX19-mediated organelle disruption on Leishmania donovani survival, metabolic homeostasis, and host-pathogen immunomodulation. Technically proficient in molecular cloning, qRT-PCR-based cytokine profiling, and macrophage cell culture (J774A.1, THP-1). Successfully identified and validated potent anti-leishmanial leads through a comprehensive workflow involving molecular docking and IC50 determination in both promastigote and axenic amastigote models. I have a record of successful peer collaboration and a commitment to leveraging emerging technologies, such as AI/ML, for advanced disease diagnostics and parasite inhibition.

Accomplishments
I have qualified the CSIR NET JRF exam with an All India Rank 108 (Top 0.1%) and 99.28%tile in December 2025. The CSIR NET JRF (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research National Eligibility Test for Junior Research Fellowship) is a highly prestigious national-level exam for determining eligibility for PhD fellowships and lectureships (Assistant Professor) in India. It is a very competitive exam with only about a thousand fellowships awarded out of the 90,000 (approx.) applicants for the Biological sciences.
