Akanksha Mishra is a Junior Research Fellow at the Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology, Madhya Pradesh Council of Science and Technology (MPCST), Bhopal, specializing in bioinformatics, biotechnology, and biostatistics. She holds an M.Sc. in Bioinformatics (93.4%, First with Distinction) and a B.Sc. (Biotechnology Honours, 84%, First with Distinction). Her graduate thesis explored metabolomic insights into plant-derived cyclolinopeptides for stress management using in-silico approaches. Since June 2023, she has contributed to research at MPCST and, since July 2023, served as Guest Faculty (Biostatistician) at HSZH GovtUnani Medical College, Bhopal. Akanksha’s technical toolkit spans molecular biology (nucleic acid extraction, PCR/RT-PCR, HPTLC), immunology & proteomics (SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting, ELISA), bioinformatics (sequence retrieval/alignment, molecular docking, homology modelling), and biostatistics (sample size estimation, statistical test analysis), with programming exposure to Java, C++, BioPerl, and MySQL. She has multiple 2024–2025 publications and presentations across biostatistics, structural modelling, venous disease, and phytochemical/nanotechnology-based topics, along with recognition including a Young Scientist Training Fellowship and a Best Oral Presentation award.
