Satyaprakash Tripathi

Biography:

Satyaprakash Tripathi is a PhD scholar in Microbiology with a research focus on medical mycology, antifungal susceptibility, and nanoparticle-based antifungal strategies. His doctoral research investigates the in vitro antifungal efficacy of silver nanoparticles in combination with voriconazole against Aspergillus species, with particular emphasis on understanding the underlying mechanisms of their combined activity.
His research involves the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using the Turkevich method, followed by evaluation of their antifungal activity through broth microdilution and combination assays. His ongoing mechanistic investigations include microscopic evaluation and molecular analysis to understand fungal responses to treatment. His broader academic interests include emerging fungal pathogens, antifungal resistance, antifungal susceptibility testing, nanoparticle-mediated antimicrobial therapy, and innovative approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections.
