About

M. Pharm (Pharmacology) postgraduate with a focused interest in clinical research, pharmacovigilance, and translational medicine. My academic path has been defined by hands-on research in the neuroimmunology of migraine, particularly my thesis investigating HLA-B27 as an immunogenetic biomarker in migraine, and a collaborative study on BAFF and APRIL expression across migraine phases, published in the Journal of Neuroimmunology (2025). These experiences have strengthened my ability to design and execute biomarker-based studies, apply bioanalytical techniques, and interpret data with scientific rigor. I am currently completing a Materiovigilance internship with the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), where I am gaining structured exposure to adverse device event reporting, medical device safety surveillance, and regulatory compliance under India's MvPI framework. In addition to wet lab proficiency including ELISA, qPCR, and RT-PCR , I work with computational tools such as Auto Dock and Cystoscope, and apply statistical analysis using GraphPad Prism. This has provided me with a comprehensive foundation across both experimental and analytical dimensions of research. I am committed to contributing to clinical research that is scientifically sound, ethically conducted, and oriented toward meaningful patient outcomes. I look forward to connecting with professionals and organizations working in clinical research, drug safety, and pharmacovigilance.
