I have significantly contributed in the field of Antimicrobial Resistance wherein the study was focused on the detection and epidemiology of infectious pathogens particularly ESKAPE pathogens – top priority pathogens as per WHO recommendations. The research also focuses on the emergence of resistance and the mechanistic insights responsible for the AMR spread. The study has also expanded towards utilizing alternative approaches such as Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to combat the AMR. In lieu of this work, I have been awarded with BEST YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD by National Environment Science Academy at a national conference at Gujarat Biotechnology University, India.

Prior to bacterial pathogens, the infections caused by Candida species in Rajasthan and their resistance towards existing antifungals have also been exploited. Additionally, the role of nanoparticles as drug delivery agents for treating respiratory disorders such as COPD has also been exploited as a part of a project funded by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) – Rajasthan. In lieu of this work, I have also been appreciated as a Women Scientist on the Occasion of International Women’s Day in 2022.

My PhD work was focused on the identification and characterization of potential vaccine candidates and their fusion constructs towards Plasmodium falciparum, a malaria parasite. The research was majorly focused on theimmunological aspects identifying crucial epitopes for the same and recombinant protein production at a large scale.

I have more than 7 years of teaching experience in Biotechnology and Microbiology and more than 10 years of research experience. I have also attended multiple national and international conferences and has organized many of them along with prestigious collaborative partners such as NASI-Rajasthan, IIT Roorkee, etc. I have reviewed many papers for international journals and has also delivered expert lectures at universities such as MLSU, Udaipur, and GUNI, Gujarat. I also have multiple research and review articles in international journals and book chapters in national and international books. My co-edited book “Futuristic Trends in Biotechnology” under IIP Publishers has  een published.
