  Intern

  I was working as an intern in DBT-ICT to study the growth and treatment of rot-causing pathogens in Ginger plants. We have successfully isolated and characterized the rot-causing pathogens in these ginger crops, and we worked on addressing treatment strategies for these disease-causing microorganisms. During my time at the center, I also contributed to another project on determining the effect of antimicrobial chemical agent on high-density polyethene to reduce biofilm formation.

  Research Intern

  During my tenure at M-Lab, IIT Bombay, under Professor Abhijit Majumder's mentorship, I conducted research on the mechanosensitive properties of the lncRNA NEAT1. This work explored NEAT1's responses to mechanical stimuli, shedding light on its mechanobiological functions and offering potential novel therapeutic avenues. This experience enhanced my expertise in RNA biology, experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication, contributing to our understanding of NEAT1's mechanosensitivity and advancing mechanobiology.
