Director profile
Shilpa Nair, Director of Real World Labs Limited.
Shilpa Nair provides consultancy services on antibacterial efficacy testing of novel and commercially available antimicrobial products.
Ms Shilpa graduated with a PhD in Molecular Medicine from the University of Auckland and was part of the microbiology team of the Biocide Toolbox Programme funded by MBIE, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Her PhD evaluated the potency of long-term active biocide using several bacterial strains, including antibiotic resistant strains and spores. She established protocols to check antimicrobial potency for long-lasting biocides, and observed that biocide efficacy can differ between in vitro and real-world conditions.
Her experience in testing antimicrobial products helps customers choose an effective product for their premises and supports manufacturers in assessing the efficacy of their product.
