A Bit About Me
I am a Prime Minister’s Research Fellow (PMRF) currently pursuing my Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Dhiraj Bhatia at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar. My research interests lie at the intersection of autophagy, and nanotechnology.
Specifically, I focus on designing nanoscale conjugates aimed at modulating both bulk and selective autophagy in disease-relevant cellular contexts. My work explores how engineered systems can be used to influence autophagy pathways with the goal of understanding their therapeutic potential.
Collaboration plays a central role in my research approach, and I am committed to translating fundamental discoveries into applications that address real-world challenges.
