Biography
PhD Scholar | Researcher at Hazra Lab
Currently, I am doing my PhD in Biosciences and Bioengineering at IIT Roorkee. Apart from my academic journey, I love trekking and travelling. I like to read fictional stories and watch movies.
About My Work: Structure-function relationship of MBL fold metallo hydrolases from Gram-negative pathogens exhibiting β-lactam hydrolyzing activities.
Academic Background
Present: PhD in Biosciences and Bioengineering at IIT Roorkee
Bachelor Honors on Microbiology from University of Calcutta
