WHAT IF SOMETHING WE THROW AWAY COULD HELP FIGHT MICROBIAL INFECTIONS?
Every day, garlic peels are discarded as kitchen waste.
But what if this ‘waste’ was hiding a powerful secret?
That question sparked a fascinating research journey by MSc Biotechnology student Suryadeep Kanji, in collaboration with faculty member Dr. Sandhimita Mondal.
Their research explores the anti-biofilm potential of garlic peel extract—investigating how a simple, natural by-product could offer new possibilities in tackling microbial biofilms.
But this wasn’t just about what happens inside a laboratory.
The team combined experimental research with in silico approaches, bringing together hands-on science and computational insights to explore a more sustainable approach to combating microbial biofilms.
From a humble garlic peel…
to a promising scientific possibility.
From everyday waste…
to research that could inspire tomorrow’s solutions.
This is what happens when curiosity meets science, and sustainability meets innovation.
Congratulations, Suryadeep Kanji & Dr. Sandhimita Mondal, on this outstanding research achievement!
