PhD in Microbiology with over 15 years of experience in microbiology, biochemistry and moleclar biology research

Profile Summary

I did my PhD (IICB, India) in Microbiology and post-doctoral (University of Michigan and University of Toronto) research in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. My research has improved our understanding of cellular stress response, discovered novel proteins involved in intracellular transport, shed light into the mechanism of protein quality control and improved the bio-production titer of platform chemicals. At Liven Proteins, I am using my skills in molecular cloning and genetic engineering to create micro-organisms that consume agricultural waste and produce high quality animal protein products.
