I am a self-motivated biotechnology research student. I obtained my first degree (Industrial Biotechnology) in 2006 from Anna University, India. In 2008, I completed my Master’s (Industrial and Commercial Biotechnology) at School of Biology, Newcastle University. My current research involves discovery and production of microbial enzyme that breaks down biofilms, which has potential commercialization. In last 3 yrs, I had been working in projects that involve marine microbes and acquired skills in marine microbiology, molecular biology, biochemical techniques, production & bioreactor scale up. Apart from research, I am a social worker.
