Dr. Prakhar Agrawal received his M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Banaras Hindu University in 2016. Following that, he completed his Ph.D. at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. His doctoral study focused on the identification of new therapeutic targets and the discovery of a unique family of inhibitors that target the blood stage of P. falciparum. He joined the National Institute of Immunology as a Research Associate after completing his Ph.D. in 2022. Dr. Agrawal is now working on characterization of the molecular and structural basis of pathogen-human protein interactions, which can be used to create novel inhibitors and antibodies.
