In an almost 3 decade long experience, inclusive of research, academic and administrative capacities, I published several research papers/ articles in peer-reviewed journals and also attended various National and International conferences for paper presentation. My Post-doctoral research in the field of Inflammation involved the development of potent novel organic molecules, it's biochemical activities on metabolic pathways of Arachidonic acid cascade and detailed Pharmacological and Toxicological studies. These theories were based upon Acute and Chronic parameters of Anti-inflammatory activities while working at the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, King George Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow.

I possess over 17 years of academic and administrative experience in handling start-up University project management. I started my career in the year 1998 as Assistant Professor and worked in various capacities as Associate Professor, Professor and Director in several organisations of repute.
