Career Profile: 

I am Dr. Kanika Bhardwaj, a dedicated and research-oriented academician who completed a Ph.D. in Zoology in 2024 from IIS (Deemed to be University), Jaipur. With a strong academic background in Biotechnology and Microbiology, I have developed specialized expertise in bioinformatics and molecular biology. My research journey has been marked by innovation, including the awarding of a patent for the in silico modeling of the alpha-synuclein protein, based on therapeutic insights for neurodegenerative disorders.

Currently, I am serving as a Part-Time Lecturer at IIS (Deemed to be University), Jaipur, where I integrate academic teaching with active research. I also bring prior experience as an Assistant Professor of Zoology at Parishkar International College. My academic journey is enriched by professional training in molecular docking, pharmacovigilance, and genomics, along with active participation in various national and international conferences.

I am passionate about advancing scientific understanding through interdisciplinary research and remain committed to fostering academic excellence in the field of life sciences.
