Senior Research Fellow
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India
Hi, This is Shruti Bhatt from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. I have completed B.Sc. in Biotechnology and M.Sc. in Medical Biotechnology. Later I joined the National Facility for Drug Discovery, Rajkot, Gujarat to conduct computer-aided drug design studies. I designed plenty of molecules and formulations. Out of which, I received patents for 3 different formulations. I have diplomas in Bioinformatics, IPR, and Environment Management and Auditing. Based on certain scientific contributions, I received the YOUNG RESEARCHERS AWARD at the age of 23 from the government of India. Then I joined the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay as a senior research fellow to design an inhaler-based formulation for multi-drug resistance TB. I completed that project and joined the Centre for Technology Alternatives in Rural Areas (CTARA) as a Ph.D. research scholar. During my doctoral journey, I formulated a Ready-to-use vegan sprinkler formulation that can be used as an add-on to any cooked recipe to help children with undernutrition in terms of physical and mental development. This is my 5th year of Ph.D. and I will finish the research work soon and begin my entrepreneurial journey.
