Gauri M.

I am a dedicated chemist with a PhD in Chemistry and postdoctoral experience in biomedical research. She has a strong background in organic synthesis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and medicinal chemistry. Currently, she is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), where she focuses on developing novel fluorescent probes for biomedical imaging and fluorescence-guided surgery applications. With a passion for education and mentorship, Dr. Malankar has experience in teaching and guiding students in chemistry-related subjects. She is skilled in simplifying complex scientific concepts, fostering interactive learning environments, and integrating research-driven insights into her teaching. Her expertise spans organic chemistry, spectroscopy, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology, making her well-suited for academic roles. She is eager to transition into a teaching profession, where she can leverage her research expertise and enthusiasm for education to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientists.
