Biography:

Neelesh S. is a high school researcher interested in virology, molecular biology, and computational modeling of infectious disease. His recent work explores how flaviviruses interact with host cells and cross protective biological barriers by studying structural features of viral envelope proteins and designing modified variants through bioinformatics tools. He has shared his research at regional and international science competitions and continues to build projects that combine wet lab concepts with in silico analysis. Neelesh hopes to pursue biomedical sciences and contribute to the development of targeted antiviral strategies that improve disease prevention and treatment.
