I have completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Microbiology from Raiganj University and then worked at Chatterjee lab at the Indian Institute of Science for a few years on finding the role of Cyclic-di-AMP in antibiotic resistance of Mycobacterium smegmatis. I have now joined the Wang lab through the MDTP program and working on finding the crosstalk on the second messenger molecules in stress response. Outside of the lab, I do photography, biking, and love travelling. I have a YouTube channel where I make content to help new PhD aspirants. I am also a Google map local guide having 30 million views on pictures.
