Name : Prajakta Dnyaneshwar Margale
Designation : Project Assistant
Brief Background :
Following my M.Sc., I began working as a Project Assistant at the Agharkar Research Institute on an industry-sponsored project with KPIT, which focused on the microbial production of hydrogen from rice straw. Presently, I am engaged in another industry-sponsored project with HTBS Pvt. Ltd., where I am involved in the characterization of probiotic strains.
In addition to my current projects, I also have experience in animal tissue culture, further broadening my expertise in applied biological research.
