I am a toxicologist with a solid foundation in biotechnology (MSc in Biotechnology) and a strong interest in exploring molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases. During my doctoral research (PhD in Nanomaterial Toxicology, CSIR-IITR, India), I focused on elucidating the role of the endo-lysosomal pathway in nanoparticle-induced toxicity. Following this, I pursued a research project at The Ohio State University (USA), where I studied host-pathogen interactions in influenza infection, with particular emphasis on transcriptional stress responses and interferon signaling.
