Then I moved to the Rhode Island Hospital, U.S.A for my Post-Doctoral studies with Prof. Eleftherios Mylanokis, where I am actively involved in research projects and engaged in teaching research to undergrad students. 
My primary interests are Novel antibiotic molecules against ESKAPE pathogens and gastric cancer-inducing pathogen- H. pylori. I am involved in repurposing clinical and novel synthesized molecules to combat bacterial pathogens.
