She postgraduated in Biotechnology from IIT Roorkee in 1998 and achieved her doctorate from IIT Bombay in 2006. She has qualified NET-LS and GATE (Topper in Kanpur zone and 4th rank in India) in Life Sciences. She has been the recipient of DBT fellowship during her masters and JRF and research fellowship, from MHRD during her PhD. For her PhD she worked for designing a therapy for Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). She has two Indian patents, two text books and have several international and national articles to her credit.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

She has been working to develop advanced therapeutics from natural products after establish the mechanism of action of the herbal products against diabetes, asthma, respiratory infections, skin cancer, neurological disorders and COVID 19. Her group is also trying to work upon medicinal herbs for their preventive and therapeutic potential in case of tobacco smoke induced toxic conditions. The herbs which are majorly worked upon by the group are: Salacia oblonga, Adhatoda vasica, Ginkgo biloba, Picrorhiza kurroa, Punica granatum, Musa paradisia, Citrus limetta, Rose, Amaltas, Marigold, Jasmine, Kaner etc. Her goal is to establish the mechanism of action of the “Old Great Indian Herbal medicines so that they would be globally accepted. She has got grant from AYUSH, NMPB, Govt of India on Scientific Documentation and digitization for selected Indian medicinal plants for antidiabetic and other activities” in 2009.

Dr Rachana is a life time member of Indian Pharmaceutical Association, Biotechnology Society of India, Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Association of India and Mumbai Haematology Group.
