Background

Senior Research Fellow at IMB, University of Queensland in the field of novel antimicrobial discovery, mode of action studies and development. Studying the use of antibiotic-fluorescent probes for detetcing bacterial infections and resistance development.

Previously, a postdoctoral researcher at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University Oxford. Studying dynamics of bacterial cell death during plasmid loss and post segregational killing using single cell approach of microfluidics and fluorescence microscopy.

Strong research professional with a Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in Microbiology from University of Delhi, India and a PhD in Biomedical science and Biochemistry from The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.

Skilled expertise in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, and Bioinformatics.
