My research is centered on addressing critical issues in pharmaceutical sciences, particularly antimicrobial resistance and cancer therapy. I have developed innovative bacteriophage-based therapies for wound healing and explored the use of polymeric micelles for targeted cancer treatment. My work involves advanced techniques such as bioimaging and nanoparticle formulation to enhance drug delivery and efficacy. I aim to contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies that improve patient outcomes and advance the field of pharmaceutics.

Ph.D Project
Topic: Bacteriophage formulation strategy against burn wound bacterial infections
Supervisor: Dr. Ashish Kumar Agrawal, Associate professor, IIT (BHU),Varanasi
Focused research on addressing antimicrobial resistance through bacteriophage therapy.
Developed bacteriophage microentrapped gel formulations, in-vitro release, SEM, TEM, antimicrobial and antibiofilm eradication analysis
Photoacaustic imaging analysis of wound and IVIS imaging
Masters Project
Topic: Formulation and development of luliconazole nail lacquer for the treatment of onychomycosis
Supervisor: Dr. Anand Kumar Srivastava, Associate professor, IIT (BHU),Varanasi
Worked on formulating Luliconazole nail lacquer for onychomycosis treatment.
Performed pre-formulation studies and optimized the formulation using a design of experiments approach
Conducted in-vitro testing to evaluate the antifungal efficacy of the optimized formulation
Graduation project
Topic: UV method development of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Supervisor: Dr. S.S. Shukla, Columbia Institute of Technology, Raipur, C.G.
Learned the basic principles of UV-Visible spectroscopy
Hands-on experience in sample preparation, validating the UV method
I gained practical experience in analyzing spectrophotometric data and deriving meaningful conclusions about the concentration and purity of the API, using both manual calculations and software tools.
