I am a Graduate Student in Praveen's lab from the batch of GS 2014. For past three years, my work has been focused around making platform technologies to reduce pesticide exposure in farmers. I did my Bachelors in Science from Fergusson College Pune and completed my Masters in Science-Biotechnology with specialization in nanomedicine from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). At IIT Bombay I was working on developing lipo-polymeric nanoparticle aerosol for targeted and triggered delivery of drug combinations for the treatment of lung cancer.

Hi - I joined Dr. Vemula research team during August 2016 as a research trainee. I have completed my Integrated Masters in Applied Chemistry (2011-2016) from NIT Surat. After my training period, I received DST-INSPIRE fellowship to pursue my PhD in this lab. I am here to learn as well as contribute to develop novel biomaterials to solve clinical needs. I'm currently working on development of nanoparticle systems for the sustained release of drug in Inflammatory Bowel Disease cases.
