Profile

Bio Sketch

At present, he is working as scientist in Fermentation & Microbial Biotechnology (FMB) Division, CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (CSIR-IIIM). His research interest is to screen out algae as well as their symbiotic forms (lichen) that inhabited hostile terrain of high-altitude for new therapeutic and nutraceutical bioresources. He obtained PhD in Life Sciences from Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. Earlier he has worked as a research scholar at Defense Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), Leh-Ladakh. Subsequently he worked as research scholar at CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute (CSIR-NBRI), Lucknow. He began his research training at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), DRDO.
