About
Ph.D. in Microbiology with a strong research focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the development of anti-virulence strategies as alternatives to conventional antibiotics. My work integrates experimental microbiology with in silico approaches to identify and validate bioactive compounds that inhibit pathogenicity without promoting resistance. My research spans antimicrobial and virulence inhibition assays, molecular docking, and mechanism-driven studies to understand host–pathogen interactions and uncover novel therapeutic targets. I emphasize natural product–based drug discovery and the design of next-generation therapeutics with reduced resistance pressure. I also have experience in bioprocessing and the conversion of marine bio-waste into functional biomolecules, though my primary focus remains on AMR-driven translational research. I am actively seeking postdoctoral opportunities and collaborations in microbiology, infectious diseases, and drug discovery.
