Research Project

Research Summary

Trained in genome size estimation analysis using flow cytometry and genotoxic analysis of ecological samples. Have successfully isolated few endophytic fungi from different plant samples. Is well versed with cytogenetic and molecular biological techniques.

Integration of the fields of microbial biotechnology, nanoscience, and toxicology, with a specific focus on endophytic fungi as bioresources for sustainable nanomaterial production and their implications in environmental applications. My work explores the isolation and characterization of endophytic fungi from diverse plant species, emphasizing their role as prolific producers of bioactive secondary metabolites with pharmaceutical and environmental significance. Recognizing the importance of biosafety, my work also investigates the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of plant extracts, fungal metabolites and nanoparticles using molecular assays to understand their interactions with cellular DNA and chromosomal integrity.
