Dr. Pavithran S | Life Science | Young Scientist Award

Dr. Pavithran S is a dedicated researcher in the field of Zoology, specializing in herbal-based therapies, phyto-medicines, bioactive compound isolation, and smart drug delivery systems. He completed his Ph.D. in Zoology with high commendation from Government Arts College, Coimbatore, focusing on the antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties of ethanolic leaf, flower, and seed extracts of Lagerstroemia speciosa in albino rats. His academic journey includes master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Zoology, during which he developed strong expertise in phytochemical techniques, biochemical assays, green synthesis of nanoparticles, and animal handling for experimental studies. Dr. Pavithran has made significant contributions through numerous national and international publications, covering topics such as excision wound healing, antimicrobial evaluation, histopathological assessments, and bioactive compound analysis of medicinal plants. He has presented his research widely at conferences and workshops, receiving multiple awards for his work on herbal-based wound healing and anti-inflammatory studies. Beyond research, he is actively involved in mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students, providing practical demonstrations, and contributing to laboratory management and animal care. His work also extends to ecotoxicological studies, biofertilizer research using medicinal plants, and sustainable agricultural applications. With strong technical skills and a future-focused approach, Dr. Pavithran continues to advance knowledge in pharmacological properties of medicinal plants, innovative drug delivery systems, and sustainable biomedical applications, positioning him as a rising scholar in experimental zoology and herbal therapeutics. He maintains collaborations with senior academics and research institutions, reflecting his commitment to advancing both scientific discovery and practical applications in biomedical research.
