About Me

My Name is Nihal Pathuri.

I am a student leader, researcher, and environmental advocate dedicated to bridging the gap between human progress and nature’s survival. My journey is driven by a deep care for animals and the environment, which I put into action through diverse leadership and volunteer roles.

As the Director of Advocacy for SDG Champions, I lead community service initiatives including environmental advocacy, cleanups, and food drives. My commitment to wildlife is hands-on; I serve as an Animal Care and Exhibit Steward at the Heard Museum, where I help maintain exhibits and care for animals.

Mission

To bridge the gap between humans and nature. My goal is to help every neighbor grow native plants to lower their living costs and restore the balance of our local wildlife.

My Research

My research focus combines Biochemical Analysis with fossil record data to better understand the MEtabolic Nature of Dinosaurs. I am currently developing a comprehensive, 4,000+ word research paper currently undergoing review for publication process. Scientific Depth: I am collaborating with a Immunology Subject Matter Expert and Creative Lab Writer to articulate the intricate science of Analyzizng Metabolic data related to fossilized organism in the clade Dinosauria and Archosauria.This project explores The intrqacacies of Various Metabolic determination Methods to provide a deeper understanding of how the internal workings of Dinosaurs is much more complicated than we think..

Leadership

I lead community-driven projects that turn environmental awareness into real-world action.

Research Project: 

Effects of Enhanced Gaba production in Tomatos on Humans.

Partipated in the UTD Research Project,Part of which utilized 4 week research project that incorperated Biopython and Biology to explain an important research question. We choose the effects of how modyfing the C-terminus in a Tomato causes it to produce excess GABA, which in turnt allows for a variety of Pharmecutical Purposes.

 UTD Foundations of Computational Biology Workshop.

 Engaged in hands-on activities like gel electrophoresis for DNA analysis, created agar plates for microbial growth, and practiced serial dilution techniques. I also explored plasmid DNA analysis, and gained valuable tools thta will be useful in the Comutational Biology field, like BLAST genome analysis and learning Biopython coding.
