Work History
Senior Research Fellow
Centre, national de la recherche scientifique. Laboratoire de Chemie bacterienne
06.2019 - 03.2022
- Spearheaded Project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) studying bacterial stress response involving bacterial viruses with implications in development of novel antimicrobial strategies. Study involved genetic library construction and extensive biochemical characterization.
Research Associate
Imperial College. Centre for Molecular Bacteriology and Infection
London
09.2014 - 05.2018
- Worked as part of Wellcome trust funded project aimed at understanding host pathogen interplay of bacteriophages and target bacteria critical in development of anti microbial resistance while treating infectious diseases. Research led to discovery of novel mechanism as well as development of methods pertaining to rapid bacteriophage detection from environmental sample. Used next generation sequencing, protein biochemistry, genetics and envronvironmental microbiology to achieve resea goals
