Preeti
Assistant Professor
"Dr. Preeti is a highly experienced researcher and educator, with over 11 years of experience in the field. She completed her PhD in Biochemistry and Structural Biology from the Department of Biotechnology at IIT Roorkee in 2012 Following her PhD, Dr. Preeti pursued postdoctoral research at the Institute of Biology and Chemistry of Proteins (IBCP) at the University of Lyon in France, and also worked as a Postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics Unit at IISc Bangalore.
Dr. Preeti has worked on various projects, including startup company SciDogma Research Pvt. Ltd and at IISc Bangalore. Her work has earned her several awards, including the European Crystallographic Association accommodation and Travel award for the Athens (Greece) Bio-SAXS workshop from INSTRUCT (Oxford) in 2014. She was also selected as one of the Top 400 best innovative ideas to transform India in Smart Fifty-IIM Calcutta and DST Joined program 2018.
Dr. Preeti is an accomplished and highly respected researcher in the field of biochemistry and structural biology. Her expertise in determining the structure of various therapeutically important proteins is clearly valuable for developing new drugs and treatments. Her publication record in top tier journals such as PLoS One, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and book chapter in Springer-Nature indicates that her work is highly regarded by her peers.
In addition to her research contributions, it is also notable that Dr. Preeti is dedicated to education. She has worked closely and tutored to many students and scholars at her pervious organization Graphic Era University Dehradun. By sharing her knowledge and experience, she is contributing to the growth and advancement of her field, and helping to ensure a strong future for science and technology.
