Biotechnological Insights into Salicylic Acid-Mediated Stress Responses in Plants. Designed and executed 30+ abiotic-stress assays evaluating salicylic acid’s effect on plant resistance. Applied biochemical assays, aseptic handling, and advanced data analysis using Excel and SPSS. Presented preliminary results at the Departmental Undergraduate Research Symposium (2025).

Conducted antibacterial assays against E. coli, S. aureus, and K. pneumoniae using the disc diffusion method. Applied aseptic culturing, TSA/TSB media preparation, and compound solubilization. Demonstrated strong broad-spectrum activity of SB6 derivative as a potential novel antimicrobial. Designed and executed 30+ abiotic stress assays on plants to study salicylic acid–mediated resistance. Performed biochemical assays and data analysis using Excel/SPSS.
