Profile Summary

I am a trained biochemist in the field of protein chemistry. My ability to solve a complex and common problem of insoluble and inactive recombinant protein with shortest and smartest path possible has helped me design many novel approaches during my training (List of patents below). My developed methodologies reduce the time, cost and labor involved in each processing step. One of my developed methods is set to be used by a company located in Orissa, India for producing bioactive soluble COVID-19 vaccine candidate. The expert opinion about maximizing the recovery of bioactive protein from bacterial inclusion bodies at laboratory and industrial scale has been accepted in one of the high impact factor journal (Trends in Biotechnology). In addition, I am reasonably good in research, scientific editing, science writing and data analysis.
