Shraddha Karve

Assistant Professor of Research at Koita Centre for Digital Health, Ashoka University

Ph.D. IISER, Pune

Shraddha Karve was earlier working at Ashoka as a Faculty Fellow.  She was a Postdoctoral Fellow for 4 years at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

She obtained her Master of Science (Microbiology) from Pune University, after which she got her doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune. Currently at Ashoka, she and her group study antimicrobial resistance in tertiary healthcare centers using genomic approaches and the evolution of de novo resistance using laboratory evolution experiments. In 2020, Shraddha received the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) Young Scientist’s Award.
