I am a Biotechnology faculty and researcher with extensive experience (more than 10years) in teaching and mentoring students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. As a assistant professor at Sister Nivedita University, Kolkata, I have taught Molecular Biology, Virology, and Cell Biology, combining academic depth with practical insights from my PhD in Life Sciences (Presidency University, Kolkata) and international postdoctoral fellowships in the USA. Beyond academia, I bring strong industry experience from leading organizations such where I worked on vaccine development, protein expression, and advanced cell biology applications. This exposure helps me guide students with a clear understanding of industry expectations, research trends, and career pathways, which is especially valuable for those pursuing biotechnology, life sciences, and related fields at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. At the school level, I have successfully mentored NEET aspirants (Class XI & XII) and foundation students (Class VII–X) at reputed institutes like Royal Academy and Adamas Career. My teaching style blends clarity, real-world applications, and exam-focused strategies, enabling students to grasp complex concepts while building strong problem-solving skills. With over a decade of academic, research, and industry experience, my goal is to make biology and biotechnology engaging, career-oriented, and future-ready for students at every stage, whether they are preparing for competitive exams or advancing in higher education.
