Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified biotechnology researcher and assistant professor with over 10 years of experience in microbiology, computational biology, bioinformatics, molecular modeling, and scientific research. My expertise lies in integrating wet-lab microbiology with computational approaches for drug discovery, reverse vaccinology, immunoinformatics, and antimicrobial resistance research. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact international journals and contributed book chapters published by Springer Nature. My research has focused on biofilm-associated infections, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, protein-protein interactions, and structure-guided drug discovery. I provide end-to-end research support from project conception to publication, helping researchers, clinicians, biotechnology companies, and academic institutions accelerate their scientific projects.
