We welcome Dhanashree as our newest addition to the team as a microscopy Senior Research Associate . Dhanashree holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the Centre for Food Technological Research Institute in Mysuru, India, where her research focused on Understanding the Pleomorphic nature of Bifidobacteria. With a strong background in microbiology and molecular biology, Dhanashree brings valuable expertise to our research endeavors. Her extensive use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has provided in-depth insights into the diverse shapes of bifidobacteria, while her proficiency in confocal microscopy has been applied to cloning and expression studies.

Dhanashree's academic journey led her to the United States, where she was a postdoctoral researcher at OSU in Wooster. During this time, she further honed her skills in veterinary medicine, broadening her knowledge and contributing to interdisciplinary research.

We are excited to have Dhanashree on board, and her diverse skill set and research experience will undoubtedly enhance our microscopy research initiatives.
