As a molecular immunologist and researcher with more than 15 years of experience, I am transitioning to a teaching role with a focus on presenting biology as a practical subject that enables students to understand life around them. I want my students to make better decisions in their lives as well as be a part of the community.

  • Preparing course materials, delivering lectures and evaluating UG and PG students.
  • Establishing a research lab to facilitate research projects at Asutosh College.
  • Raise awareness about research integrity and laboratory best practices.
