Rojlina Manandhar is a M. Sc. graduate in Molecular Medicine (2011) from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. She has worked as Research Assistant in the Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine focusing on the combined effect of light and drug in rat bladder cancer cells. She then joined the Department of Biotechnology, Tribhuvan University in 2013 to see the efficacy of plants for ethanol production and its application in fuel cells. Recently, Ms. Manandhar has been working in Research Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology (RIBB) as co-Investigator in a project entitled “Guava leaves as natural preservative for small holder’s farmers of Nepal ''.
