Dual PhD (IIT Delhi–UQ) Antimicrobial Resistance, Peptide Engineering, Nanomaterials, Molecular Docking, Tutoring & En

Profile Summary

I am a fourth-year Dual PhD researcher in Biotechnology under the IIT Delhi–University of Queensland joint doctoral program, specializing in antibacterial drug design and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). My research integrates antimicrobial peptides, nanomaterials, and molecular modelling to design next-generation therapeutic strategies against resistant pathogens. I work at the interface of microbiology, immunology, and nanobiotechnology, combining both experimental and computational approaches. Currently, I am developing Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) and peptide-based nanoformulations for targeted antimicrobial applications. My work involves polymer synthesis, nanoparticle functionalization, peptide cyclisation, purification, and antimicrobial evaluation (MIC assays, microbiological testing). I also work on nanoparticle–peptide conjugation strategies including advanced chemistries for enhanced protease resistance. On the computational side, I perform molecular docking, structural analysis, and binding energy estimations to support rational drug design. I am familiar with tools such as AutoDock and Gaussian for modelling and interaction studies. My expertise includes: • Antimicrobial peptides & peptide engineering • Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) synthesis • Nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization • Antimicrobial resistance research • Microbiology & immunology techniques • Molecular docking & computational analysis • Literature review & systematic scientific writing • Research proposal development • Data interpretation & experimental design • Academic tutoring (Biology, Biotechnology, Microbiology) I have presented my work at international conferences and have one peer-reviewed publication, with another manuscript currently in preparation. With a strong foundation in microbiology, biotechnology, and translational nanomedicine, I am open to collaborative research projects, scientific writing assignments, experimental design consulting, molecular modelling support, and academic mentoring.
