Profile Summary

Deepak is currently a Marie-Curie CoFund Postdoctoral Fellow (with 3+ years of post-PhD experience) at EMBL, Grenoble France. He holds a PhD (4 years) in Biomedical sciences at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium, with concentration in nanobiotechnology. He is currently undergoing INSEAD Executive Education: Certificate of Business Acumen at INSEAD Paris and Singapore. Deepak has a wide range of International educational and work experience in biotechnology/ nanotechnology sector during last 14+ years, particularly 6 years in India (North and South India) as a graduate student, 1.5 years in Singapore (Southeast Asia) as a graduate student, 1 month in USA as an exchange student and 7+ years in Europe (Belgium, France and Germany) as a scientist (doctoral and postdoctoral scientist). Based on his international experience and perhaps more importantly because of his interest and enthusiasm in nano-biotechnology,he is a well suited candidate to pursue for industrial position related to cross-interdisciplinary field like nano-biotechnology along with flavor for technology transfer and development. Note: Deepak is eligible for the CIR (Credit Impôt Recherche) in France.
