Dr. Abhijith S.R

Dr. Abhijith S.R. is a dedicated academician and researcher currently serving as an Assistant Professor (Senior Scale) in the Department of Biotechnology at M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bengaluru. With a strong foundation in biochemistry and molecular biology, his research interests span cancer biology, cell and molecular biology, green nanotechnology, and diabetic neuropathy.

He earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Kuvempu University and subsequently pursued advanced postdoctoral research at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, supported by the prestigious UGC–Dr. D.S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship and the DBT–IISc partnership programme. Dr. Abhijith has guided several undergraduate and postgraduate student projects and has successfully supervised doctoral research. He has also coordinated national-level workshops and conferences and actively contributes to teaching and training in biotechnology and allied areas. His academic achievements include prestigious research fellowships and recognitions, including the recent Certificate of Excellence for Best Poster at Bengaluru India Nano 2026. With his multidisciplinary research experience and commitment to teaching and scientific innovation, Dr. Abhijith S.R. continues to contribute actively to the advancement of biotechnology research and education.

My research interests are broadly focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases and developing innovative biological approaches for their diagnosis and treatment. My primary areas of interest include cancer biology, cell and molecular biology, green nanotechnology, and diabetic neuropathy.

A major focus of my research is cancer biology, particularly understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in cancer initiation and progression, with a special interest in breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. My research also explores the role of genes and molecular pathways as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Through these interdisciplinary research areas, my long-term goal is to integrate fundamental molecular biology with emerging technologies to develop innovative and translational solutions for important biomedical challenges.
