Profile Summary

I have done my PhD in the field of Industrial Microbiology (and specifically in the area of enzymes). However, I have done my masters in the field of biochemistry. Therefore, I focus more on the microbial enzymes, their production, their characterisation, their mechanism of action, their kinetics, their structural and functional relational ship. I have expanded my domain of knowledge by teaching under graduates students the various aspects of microbiology such as microbial physiology and metabolism, microbial biotechnology etc.
