Qualification: M.Sc. & Ph.D (Bioinformatics) 

With a PhD in Bioinformatics from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, my research integrates computational approaches with clinical medicine to drive translational healthcare solutions. My academic focus includes bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, mycology, in-silico structural biology, in-silico drug discovery, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (in-silico, and in-vitro). I have a strong interest in integrating computational biology, mycology, and in-silico approaches to address pressing health challenges. My work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, leveraging computational and experimental methods to develop innovative solutions in biomedical sciences and advance the understanding of disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. I have contributed 7 peer-reviewed publications in international journals, along with 8 conference abstracts presentations and publication in reputed international forums, including International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) and Trends in Medical Mycology (TIMM). My contributions have been recognized through multiple honors, including the CSIR Foreign Travel Grant for Athens (Greece), Young ISHAM Grant, International Travel Support (SRICC-BHU), and UGC Research Fellowship in Sciences for Meritorious Students.
