Brief Statement of Research Interest

    My research interests lie at the intersection of medical microbiology, bioinformatics, and antimicrobial drug discovery from natural resources using green synthesis technology. By integrating computational analysis with laboratory-based microbiological approaches, I aim to contribute in understanding the resistance developed by microbes towards different Antimicrobial agents. Ultimately, my goal is to support evidence-based solutions that address the growing global challenge of antimicrobial resistance and improve patient health outcomes.
