As a highly dedicated scientist, my core strength lies in Interdisciplinary research focusing on the scientific validation and development of traditional methods and herbal products. I possess strong technical knowledge in both Microbial and Molecular Technology. My hands-on laboratory expertise includes preparing various microbial media, cultivating microbes, and the isolation, identification, and characterization of Bacterial, Fungal, and Actinomycetes cultures.
I am proficient with a suite of advanced analytical instrumentation, including HPLC, RT-PCR, GCMS, FTIR, UV-Vis, and Fermenter systems. This proficiency is complemented by hands-on experience in molecular plant biology, such as performing qPCR on Arabidopsis root development, and conducting specialized procedures like Histopathology, Microtome, HE staining, and Protein modelling. My background also includes animal handling (Mice, Rat, and Hamster) and comprehensive Quality Control (QC) for material testing (solubility, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial).
My professional tenure includes a significant focus on Translational R&D and Molecular Analysis. I have a proven ability to translate traditional concepts into evidence-based products by identifying and mapping molecular targets, pathways, and ingredient mechanisms. I have successfully developed products based on Traditional Medicine with scientific evidence. This expertise extends to End-to-End Project and Global Management , where I have led complex projects from the scientific concept through commercial execution, including R&D, manufacturing, Quality Assurance (QA), pricing, and regulatory setup (FSSAI). I have led the complete lifecycle of projects like the "Chai Project" and globally managed an 18-country scientific translation project.
A distinctive aspect of my skill set is my comfortable engagement with digital transformation and cutting-edge technology. I am an expert in Data Curation & Structuring , proficiently organizing complex, heterogeneous data (e.g., ancient Siddha measurements, formulations, plant/animal/mineral ingredients) into modern, usable databases. This is directly applicable to annotating vast biological R&D data for AI platforms.
I am highly experienced with Technology Integration & AI/ML Readiness , demonstrating the ability to manage AI-driven content pipelines (e.g., Eleven Labs, ChatGPT) and outline software requirements for Web-enabled systems architecture. My areas of interest align with future trends, including AI/ML based Diagnostics and Telemedicine/Telepathology Tools. I possess computer skills in MS OFFICE, Google Sheets, gscript automation using AI (Beginner), Wordpress, draw.io, Eleven labs, Descript, and GPT configuring.
