Biography
Utpal Bhadra is the Sr. Principal Scientist in Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology. He is the Senior Wellcome Trust Fellow (United Kingdom) and HFSP Young Investigator (G8 Countries).
Research Interest
The impact of gene silencing in modern biology and molecular medicine, particularly in post genomic era, is so obvious that it came to a fore-line with blazing lights within few steps of its journey. It is empowered with lot more killer instincts than any other surprises in biology. As a matter of fact, it defeats all technologies with a comfortable gap and received desirable noble prize at the quickest time.
