Research Area – Microbiology, Leishmaniasis, Antimicrobials, and Molecular Biology.

Achievements: CSIR-NET (2014) AIR 23, ICMR JRF (2015)

Her research work is focused on the estimation of microbial load in a given sample with the detection of specific microorganisms, dental caries, antimicrobial activity, and antibiofilm activity. She has been actively involved in IMR/EMR/Collaborative Research projects as Principal Investigator/Co-Investigator and completed 01 project as PI. She played an important role in the NABL and Drug Testing Laboratory (DTL) accreditation approval of the microbiology section of CARI, Jhansi.
