Research Interest

My keen interest is in pursuing research in microbiology as well as public health. My academic journey and professional experiences have instilled in me a passion for delving deep into the complexities of microbial systems and their interactions with the environment and host organisms.

Throughout my studies, I have been drawn to the intersection of microbiology with key concepts, where I aim to contribute novel insights and solutions. My research interests lie in exploring microbial ecology, host-microbe interactions, and the application of microbiology in various fields such as Industries.

Furthermore, I am committed to fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and leveraging diverse methodologies to address multifaceted research questions in microbiology.

My goal is to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of knowledge in microbiology as well as in public health by various interventions and preventive measures to improve quality of life in patients with diabetes and mild cognitive disorders.
