I have completed my post-graduation in Applied Zoology from Mangalore University. I have been working at Yenepoya Research Centre from 1stof August 2018. Currently I am working as a JRF in DBT funded project entitled ‘Development of a wound healing material from the biopolymers produced by two novel bacterial strains isolated from the West Coast of India’. I am familiar with the basic microbiological techniques.

Research interest/Area
Biopolymers and Wound healing
Research
The project aims at optimization of the growth conditions for maximizing the yield and characterization of the isolated exopolysaccharides from marine bacteria. The biological activity of the exopolysaccharides will be studied for of its wound healing action in vitro and in vivo. And also, development of a an effective therapeutic moleculefrom the biopolymer.
