About

Postgraduate biotechnology student eager to bridge laboratory innovation with real-world solutions. During my ME , I led a project on bioremediation of xenobiotic compounds by candida parapsilosis, where I was able to successfully degrade phenol by 90%. With hands-on experience in molecular biology, microbiology, data analysis and bioprocessing from academic research, I am excited to contribute to cutting-edge lifescience environment. Seeking entry level R&D , quality control or process development roles.

Projects

Bioremediation of Xenobiotic Compounds by Candida Parapsilosis

M.E. thesis research at Panjab University investigating the ability of Candida parapsilosis to degrade industrial pollutants such as phenol and bromophenol blue. Highlighted bioremediation benefits including biodegradability, biosurfactant production, and metal accumulation capabilities, and documented technical limitations.

Hands-on Basic Molecular Biology Techniques

B.Tech project trainee work at CSIR IHBT using a Stevia plant model. Applied nucleic acid DNA and RNA isolation and purification, gel electrophoresis, and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for DNA amplification.
