Dr. Priyadarshini Mohapatra
Assistant Professor
Alliance College of Engineering and Design
Dr. Priyadarshini Mohapatra completed her Ph.D. in Nanomedicine from Vellore Institute of Technology. She has previously worked as Post Doctoral Fellow at Alliance University, Bengaluru , Karnataka and Senior Research fellow under Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi, India.
Dr. Priyadarshini’s research is centered at the intersection of biomaterials, nanobiotechnology, and cancer biology. She develops novel drug delivery platforms and targeted therapeutic systems, with specific applications in nanomedicine for oncology. Her contributions to the field are substantiated by a strong publication record of original research articles, reviews,book chapters and filed patent . She has secured project and travel grants from national funding bodies such as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST), India. She actively engages with the scientific community, regularly presenting her work at prestigious national and international conferences.
