Presented my third poster at the SoPhyC-2025 conference, IIT Patna. I felt highly confident during my presentation, which allowed me to engage in meaningful scientific discussions with faculty from the physical chemistry community across India.
The Advanced Centre for Materials Science (ACMS) at IIT Kanpur hosted a power-packed one-day workshop — Advances in Microscopy (AIM)-2025: Optical Imaging Across the Scales — and what a day of learning and discovery it was! 🚀 From confocal to super-resolution microscopy, live-cell imaging to single-molecule tracking.
Had the opportunity to present my research at Research Scholar Day (RSD) 2025, IIT Kanpur — an incredibly enriching and inspiring experience!
Proud moment as a mentor!🎉My Class 8 students (From left: Sanskar Gupta, Vaibhav, and Pranjal Sharma) from Kendriya Vidyalaya, IIT Kanpur, won Second Position in the Resource Management category at the KVS Regional Level "Rajya Stariya Bal Vigyanik Pradarshani 2024–25", hosted by Kendriya Vidyalaya, Armapur, Kanpur (12–13 Dec 2024).🌟
Presented my work for the first time as a poster at the SoPhyC-2024 conference, IIT Bombay. It was a proud moment to engage with the physical chemistry community of India and exchange scientific ideas. The constructive feedback I received helped refine my research, which was later published in Protein Science.
A memorable capture with my summer project guide, Prof. Saptarshi Mukherjee (IISER Bhopal), during the SoPhyC-2023 Inaugural Meeting at IIT Kanpur (29–31 October 2023). Prof. Mukherjee motivated me to change my decision to major in Chemistry instead of Mathematics during my summer project at IISER Bhopal.
A proud research milestone! After several months of unsuccessful attempts, I finally succeeded in tagging HGDC with TMR. Through careful optimization and meticulous precautions, I believe this could be the first successful tagging of HGDC worldwide, given that its active site lies deep within the hydrophobic core of the protein.
After successfully establishing a fully functional Protein Expression and Purification Laboratory single-handedly, I expressed and purified human γD-crystallin for the first time and confirmed its purity using SDS-PAGE.
Building the Protein Expression and Purification Laboratory from scratch as a newcomer was exhausting yet deeply rewarding. It took nearly one and a half years of my PhD, filled with challenges, learning, and perseverance. With unwavering dedication and countless hours of effort, I finally established a fully functional lab single-handedly.
