Assistant Manager @ Micro Crispr Pvt. Ltd. | Gene Therapy Development

About

With a Master’s degree in Genetic Engineering from D.Y. Patil University, I currently contribute as an Assistant Manager in the R&D team at MicroCRISPR Pvt. Ltd. My work focuses on developing and standardizing vector genome (VG) assays for AAV-based gene therapy. I specialize in optimizing qPCR, dPCR, and ddPCR platforms to improve the precision and reproducibility of viral genome quantification. At MicroCRISPR, I am also gaining hands-on experience in designing gene therapy programs targeting neurological, ophthalmic, and cardiovascular genetic disorders. My role bridges AAV vector biology, assay development strategies, and the exploration of microRNA-based therapeutic approaches. These activities align with my expertise in gene therapy and advanced molecular techniques.
