My name is Sunita Jhulki. I am a senior PhD scholar and DST Inspire Fellow in the department of Zoology, Diamond Harbour Women’s University, India. I have completed my Master’s degree in Zoology (Genetics special) from Diamond Harbour Women’s University. I have been awarded gold medal for securing in 1st position in M.Sc. (Zoology) examination for the session 2018-2020. I have completed my Bachelor of science from University of Calcutta, West Bengal. I have been awarded “Golapbala Mondal Memorial” award for excellent results in Secondary examination (2013) from Apurba Memorial General Library, West Bengal. I am pursing my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Aparajita Pal (Assistant Professor). My primary area of research is the development of anticancer drugs and nanomedicines. My current experimental study is expected to develop a cheap effective phytochemical based treatment to combat cancer and cancer stem cells. Hopefully, we will be able to find a new ray of hope for patients suffering from cancer.
