Education

Ms. Vanshika Chaudhary’s academic journey is rooted in a steadfast commitment to life sciences and biochemical research. Hailing from Muradpur, Hapur district in Uttar Pradesh, India, she began her formal education with strong performances in the U.P. Board examinations, securing First Division marks in both her 10th and 12th grades, where she chose the science stream—an early indicator of her scientific inclination. She pursued her undergraduate studies in Life Sciences at Chaudhary Charan Singh University (CCS University), Meerut, where she graduated in 2019. Building on this foundation, she earned her M.Sc. in Biochemistry, also from CCS University, where she graduated with First Division honors. Her passion for research and inquiry led her to embark on a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at NIMS University, Jaipur, in 2022, where she continues to thrive as a research scholar.

Experience

Ms. Chaudhary’s professional journey demonstrates her proactive engagement in laboratory science and academic research. She is currently working as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at the NIMS Institute of Allied Medical Science and Technology, where she is involved in advanced biochemistry research. Her earlier JRF stint at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai, on the project titled “Recent Advances in Synthesis and Biological Properties of Functionalized Stilbenes”, allowed her to delve deep into molecular and synthetic biochemistry under the guidance of Prof. Fatehveer Singh. Her technical acumen spans a wide array of instrumentation and protocols, including PCR, Spectrophotometry, ELISA, and Flame Photometry, along with expertise in molecular biology assays and biochemical analysis. She has also participated in multiple research internships at prestigious institutions such as CSWRI, Avikanagar, NDRI, Karnal, and VIT Chennai, gaining valuable insights and hands-on experience across varied domains of biosciences.

Research Focus

Ms. Chaudhary’s research interests lie at the intersection of synthetic chemistry and applied biochemistry, with a strong emphasis on natural product pharmacology and fertility regulation. Her Ph.D. and prior work have focused on the synthesis and characterization of stilbene derivatives—compounds with significant therapeutic potential. Notably, she has also ventured into reproductive biology, as reflected in her co-authored patent titled “Antifertility potential of Calendula officinalis in male rats’ model”, which represents a novel, plant-based approach to male contraception. Her research outputs include publications in peer-reviewed journals such as the International Journal of Creative Research Thoughts (IJCRT), where she authored a comparative review on stilbene synthesis—a study that continues to inform ongoing biomedical inquiries.

Award and Recognition

Ms. Vanshika Chaudhary’s academic excellence and research-driven mindset have been consistently recognized through several prestigious awards and honors at both national and international levels. Her ability to communicate complex scientific ideas effectively earned her the Best Oral Presentation Award at the ICMRP 2023 in Agra, followed by the Young Scientist Award at the ICMRP 2024, marking her growing prominence in research circles. In acknowledgment of her outstanding early-career contributions, she received the Young Achievers Award in 2023 from the same forum. Her commitment to applied biochemistry and environmental consciousness was also honored with the Wildlife Week State Level Excellence Award jointly conferred by Rajasthan University and the Forest Department. Further, her postgraduate research stood out internationally, earning her the Best M.Sc. Research Thesis Award at an International Conference held in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2024. These accolades collectively underscore her scientific rigor, impactful research contributions, and rising influence within the bioscience community.
