Faculty Profile

About

  I have a doctoral degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from Andhra University and have been awarded “Prof.Desaraju Venkata Rao Shastyabdhapurthi Endowment Prize gold medal “for the best thesis entitled’ Bio Production and Purification of the Medicinally Important Enzyme Urokinase from a Novel Kidney Cell Line”. (2004) Andhra University, India. My research interests involves identifying molecules of medicinal importance and studying their mechanism of action as potent therapeutic agents for cancer and related disorders.  I am passionate about teaching and strongly believe that teaching is a process of instilling the fundamental concepts and skills for life-long learning. I try to inculcate & nurture the critical thinking skills and help students develop evidence-based problem-solving strategies
