Green Nanotechnology & AOP-Mediated Disinfection Internship Program

Phytochemical Synthesis and Advanced Oxidation for Pathogen Control"

This intensive 30-day research program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in the green synthesis of nanoparticles and their application in combating multidimensional antibiotic resistance. Participants will transition from plant extraction to evaluating Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation against the clinically critical ESKAPE pathogen panel.

🔹 Phase 1: Foundations & Synthesis (Week 1 – Week 2)

Module 1 : The AMR Landscape & AOP Principles: Understanding ESKAPE pathogen profiles and the theory of ROS generation via nanoparticles.

Module 2 : Botanical Extraction: Collection and authentication of Azadirachta indica (Neem) or Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) for aqueous leaf extract preparation.

Module 3: Nanoparticle Synthesis: Green synthesis of AgNPs and ZnO-NPs using metal precursors and plant extracts.

Module 4: Optimization & Characterization: Utilizing UV-Vis (Cary 60) to monitor SPR peaks (~420 nm for AgNPs) and varying pH/temperature for optimal yield.

🔹 Phase 2: Antimicrobial Dynamics & Data Analysis ( Week 3 – Week 6)

Module 5 : Phenotypic Susceptibility: Executing Well Diffusion Assays (WDA) and determining Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) via broth microdilution.

Module 6 : Photocatalytic AOP Study: Investigating microbial disinfection under UV-A light (365 nm) to trigger membrane and DNA damage.

Module 7: Scientific Reporting: Statistical analysis (ANOVA/t-tests) and drafting dissertation-ready figures and discussion sections.
