Hello, I am Akhilesh Agrawal. I have completed Bachelor’s in Dental Surgery in 2020 from Sharad Pawar Dental College Maharashtra. Although from a dental background, I am primarily interested in engineering biomaterials to address musculoskeletal regeneration. My work focuses on designing and developing biomaterial inks for 3D printing. During my leisure time I enjoy listening music, watching horror movies and playing badminton. I also love to explore adventure places having breathtaking natural backdrop. I am a big foodie, I like street food and chinese cuisine. Always happy to learn and help. Please feel free to reach out!.
