Focus: Nanomaterials in blood contact. Working at the intersection of biomaterials, nanomedicine, and immunology, with a focus on how material properties shape biological interactions and therapeutic performance. My research combines nanoparticle engineering, biological evaluation, and analytical workflows to understand and improve the translation of advanced material systems into biomedical applications.

Contributed to the development and evaluation of coating technology for orthopaedic implants, supporting biological testing, quality documentation, and early-stage commercialisation activities. Gained practical exposure to regulated development environments, technical documentation, and the broader pathway from research to product translation.

Fellowship: IRCC IIT-B Research Internship Award 2019-20 Thesis: Determination of S. pneumoniae choline-binding proteins as targets for intracellular ubiquitination The study aimed at investigating the possibility and feasibility of interaction between the mammalian Ubiquitin Proteasomal System and the intracellular pathogen S. pneumoniae

Fellowship: CHARPAK Lab 2019 Investigating molecular mechanisms of Cdc123 in eIF2 biogenesis The objectives of the mini-project were evaluation of the catalytic role of Cdc123 (a cell division cycle protein) in eIF2 (eukaryotic initiation factor 2) assembly and characterization of the 3D structure of the Cdc123-eIF2a complex

Thesis: Effect of progesterone on breast cancer: A Preliminary Study The study explored the potential influence of steroid hormone - Progesterone on cell viability, morphology, migration potential, and hormone receptor status.
