Susmita Baniya

Susmita Baniya is a biotechnology researcher with academic training in molecular biology, gene cloning, yeast engineering, and bioinformatics. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Biotechnology at Tribhuvan University, where her research focuses on the expression of a Plasmodium gene in yeast cells and the identification of potential natural inhibitors using computational docking approaches. Her work integrates molecular cloning, mutagenesis, and in silico screening to explore functional gene expression and potential therapeutic targets. Through this research, she applies both experimental molecular biology techniques and bioinformatics tools to study host–pathogen interactions and protein inhibition strategies. Susmita’s academic interests include molecular cloning, yeast-based expression systems, computational drug discovery, and structure-based analysis of biomolecules. Through Microbe Notes, she contributes educational articles that explain molecular biology concepts, genetic engineering techniques, and bioinformatics approaches for students and early career researchers.
