I am writing to express my strong interest in pursuing MSc dissertation opportunities under your esteemed guidance. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Biotechnology at Amrita School of Biotechnology .As a dedicated advocate for global health and a firm believer in the importance of combating AMR, I am eager to contribute my skills and passion to further research and address the challenges posed by this pressing issue.

During my undergraduate studies in Biotechnology, I had the privilege of engaging in coursework that delved into the intricacies of microbiology, pharmacology, and epidemiology. These courses provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and the factors contributing to its emergence and spread. I excelled in these classes and developed a keen interest in multidisciplinary approaches to tackling AMR.

My professional experience further solidified my commitment to addressing AMR. I was one among the student organizer of Amrita Legion for Antimicrobial Resistance Management- ALARM, an annual colloquium that aims to create awareness and build networks for the metaphorical face off & BIOCREST 2021 - an International Symposium on Antimicrobial Resistance organized by Amrita School of Biotechnology in association with Tata Institute of Genetics and Society (TIGS) & C-CAMP 

During my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of working on a research project in collaboration with Dr Sindhu Shetty and Dr Ajith Madhavan, focusing on targeting RfaH in Order To Reduce Capsule Production in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Explore Assay Methodologies To Quantify Capsule Production, which involved in-silico docking to better understand the wide range of drugs that inhibit bacterial capsular proteins. Our aim was to investigate the various aspects of capsule inhibition on Klebsiella pneumoniae to reduce the organism's pathogenicity and render it non-infectious by the usage of phytochemicals, phage depolymerase, and other techniques to further understand the potential of capsular inhibition. This experience reinforced my passion for research towards phage therapy.

In addition to my academic and professional background, I am deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy related to AMR. I have actively participated in awareness campaigns and educational programs to disseminate information about responsible antimicrobial use and the importance of AMR stewardship. I look forward to continuing this advocacy and contributing efforts to raise awareness about AMR.

Hoping a favorable response.
