Welcome!

I am working as a Postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University, Finland in the NeuroGroup under Dr. Narkilahti Susanna. I did my PhD on neuroscience oncology and immunotherapy from IIT Hyderabad, India under Dr. Jyotsnendu Giri. My area of research span across neuroscience, oncology, immunotherapy and drug delivery. I have worked on different techniques for cancer and cancer stem cell eradication, particularly for Glioblastoma. I work on techniques that include targeting multi-drug resistance using chemical modulators and/or hyperthermia, targeting secretory molecules, and modulating the tumor-immune microenvironment.

I was actively involved in the research with KeaBiotech for the development of India's first long lasting hand sanitizer during COVID-19 pandemic. The product was released under ' Atmanirbhar Bharat ' initiative in April, 2021, by the Honorable Education Minister of India, Mr. Ramesh Pokharial 'Nishank'.
