Biography

Presently, I am working as a Assistant Professor in Amity Institute of Microbial Technology. After, finishing my Ph.D. in Microbiology in 2009 from Jamia Milia Islamia I joined Harvard medical School as postdoctoral fellow for 2 years where I have worked on Vaccine development against Streptococcus pneumonaie and molecular characterization of pneumolysin. During my second postdoc at University of Texas medical School, I worked at department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics on DNA secondary structures mediated genome instability.
