I am delighted to write this recommendation letter for Bhawna to support her admission as a Ph.D. student at JNCASR. I have known her since she joined my lab as a summer research intern in May 2019 to work on a project entitled “Microbiology with an emphasis on drug screening and discovery against ESKAPE pathogens”, and I feel that I have a reasonable understanding of her academic, laboratory and personal abilities to evaluate her as a student and a future researcher. During the internship, she screened novel small chemical molecules for their potency agains ESKAPE pathogens and further determined MIC of the active compounds obtained in primary screening. She further checked in-vivo cytotoxicity ofactive compounds in Vero cell lines. Besides this, she became fully adept at handling eukaryotic cell lines and basic microbiology techniques. &#rl;&#nl;Bhawna has a strong record of academic excellence. She has cleared the CSIR-NET exam two times along with GATE 2020 with an impressive score of 619/1000. She has recently cleared DBT-NET as well. Based on my interactions with her regarding research interests and future goals, I have found her enthusiastic, ambitious, and responsible student. She is strongly motivated to pursue high- quality science, and I am sure if provided with the right set of opportunities, she can excel in the field of research with her science, flexible, and collegial personality. Considering all her possessions, I can state, that she is simply an ideal student and thereby, strongly recommend her to pursue higher studies. |

According to me, she is outstanding in data analysis and in learning new techniques. She has ability to put independent thinking for a project which is at this stage is marvellous I think. &#rl;&#nl;&#rl;&#nl;She is a nice person with good fellow feeling and has an excellent work ethic. I strongly believe that she will excel further in a better research ambience. As a young researcher her performance is amazing. &#rl;&#nl;&#rl;&#nl;I very strongly recommend Ms. Bhawna without reservation as a graduate student.&#rl;&#nl; |
