Biography:
Sreevidya is a dedicated research scholar at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), National Centre for Aquatic Animal Health (NCAAH), India. She is currently pursuing her doctoral research, focusing on various aspects of Daphnia maintenance standardization, primary cell culture from Daphnia, and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) development. Her research aims to bridge the gap between in vivo and in vitro studies, particularly in the context of toxicity testing.
Her current research is centered around understanding the ecological impacts of environmental stressors on Daphnia magna, particularly focusing on the dormant egg stage, ephippia. By investigating the effects of multiple stressors such as cold snaps, dehydration, and contaminants of emerging concern, she aims to provide valuable insights into species survival and ecosystem health.
Sreevidya has presented her work at various national and international conferences, and she is keen on contributing to the field of aquatic toxicology and cell culture research. Her dedication to integrating functional trait perspectives in ecological studies highlights the importance of comprehensive approaches to environmental conservation and management.
