Home About Researchers Ms. Shruptha Padival
Lady Tata Senior Research Fellow
| Ms. Shruptha Padival is currently pursuing her Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. K. Satyamoorthy in Biomedical Science at Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, Dharwad, supported by the Lady Tata Memorial Trust Fellowship. Her research focuses on elucidating how cervical microbiome dysbiosis influences host cellular pathways to drive the initiation and progression of cervical cancer. She has profiled the microbiome and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes across different stages of cervical cancer. |
| Currently, her work involves developing 3D cervical organoid models to study host–microbiome interactions at the cellular and molecular level. In parallel, she is exploring rapid, cost-effective detection of cervical pathogens using an advanced Hybridization-Capture-Detection (HCD) technology platform. This dual approach—mechanistic investigation and screening innovation—is aimed at improving early detection and personalized intervention strategies for women's health. For this translational research initiative, she received support under the NIDHI-PRAYAS scheme from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. She has presented her work internationally, and received research and innovation awards at the Bangalore Tech Summit (2023), international conference (2024), Manipal MedTech Hackathon (2022), KLE MedTech Hackathon (2024) AND National Science Day (2024 & 2025). |
