Dr. Akshath completed his Ph.D. at CSIR-CFTRI, Mysore, with a specialization in Biosensors and Bio-imaging. His work was focused on nanoparticle-based biosensors to detect food contaminants and toxins using enzymes/aptamers as biorecognition elements. After his Ph.D., he was awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship (MCIFs) at the University of Leeds, UK. His work was focused on polyvalent glycan-nanoparticles to decipher HIV/Ebola infections using dendritic cell receptors-DCSIGN/R. His research at NUCSER is focused on developing nano-sensors to detect contaminants, bacteria, viruses etc. His research also focuses on glycan-nanoparticles to decipher bacterial/viral infections and inhibition. He has published papers in journals of international repute ex-Journal of American Chemical Society, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, etc.
