Hi, I'm Darshana Badve — a passionate researcher deeply interested in virology and therapeutic interventions. I completed my Master's in Virology from ICMR-National Institute of Virology and have worked with the Encephalitis viruses for one year at ICMR-NIV. I am currently working on developing phage therapy to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. I've always been fascinated by viruses and enjoy working at the intersection of research and innovation. Beyond science, I love playing badminton and dancing in my free time.
