Biography
Dr. Shilpi Garg did my Post Graduation from University of Rajasthan, Jaipur in Zoology with specilaization in Cell and Molecular Biology. I obtained my PhD in Biotechnology from Biological Sciences Group, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani in 2009. The topic of her thesis was “Studies on the Drug Resistance Genes In Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax from India’. Thereafter, joined as a Research Associate in a DBT sponsored project entitled “A Systems Biology approach towards understanding Severe Malaria with special reference to the Transcriptome and Proteome of the Parasite and the Host”. In 2010 she was awarded the prestigious “UGC- Dr. D.S.Kothari Post doctoral fellowship”. Currently I'm working as Assistant Professor in Department of Biological Sciences, BITS, Pilani. Her research interests include Molecular Parasitology especially related to the malaria parasite, Cell Biology and Immunology, and Cancer Biology.
