I have had a diverse and enriching journey of 15 Years post-PhD in the field of research and teaching, spanning over several prestigious institutions (see list below). It began as a Research Associate at the University of Delhi South Campus under the guidance of Prof. Anil K Tyagi. Later, I served as a Scientist-C at the same institution. Seeking international exposure, I pursued a Post-doctorate at the University of Maryland, USA, in the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis at the School of Dentistry. Following that, I joined the renowned Centre for Tuberculosis at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, where I worked as a Post-doctorate in the HHMI Lab under the mentorship of Prof. William R Bishai for four years. I further expanded my expertise as a Senior Research Fellow at MGH and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, collaborating with Prof. Ramnik Xavier. Currently, I hold the esteemed position of Assistant Professor and Ramalingaswami Fellow at the Department of Biological Sciences, BITS Pilani Hyderabad. My extensive experience across multiple institutions has shaped me into a well-rounded researcher with a deep understanding of my field.
