Mohana Krishna Reddy Mudiam

Biography

Dr. Mohana Krishna Reddy Mudiam completed his Masters in Chemistry from REC, Warangal in 1999. He then received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Osmania University, Hyderabad in 2005. Later, he joined CSIR-IITR, Lucknow as Scientist. He received a BOYSCAST fellowship from DST to pursue advanced research at SKCCC at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore/USA in 2007. His main research interests are sample preparation methods and metabolomics. He has developed several methods by involving hyphenation between insitu derivatizations, microextractions and molecularly imprinted polymers. He also effectively contributed in the area of metabolomics. Mainly, understanding the metabolic responses in various model organisms (Drosophila, C elegans, Earthworm, Rat/mice) after their exposure to xenobiotics. His contributions in the growth of analytical chemistry laboratory at CSIR-IITR, Lucknow are signficant. He awarded 4 PhDs and currently guiding 10 Ph.D. students. He authored more than 80 scientific publications in reputed international journals and recipient of a young scientist award. Further, he is a qualified NABL technical assessor in Chemical Sciences. At CSIR-IITR, he served as a GLP team member for formulation analysis unit and as a Scientist-Incharge of Pesticide Toxicology Laboratory, he maintained a NABL accredited facility for multi-residue pesticides analysis. He is an academic editor to PLOS ONE journal and editorial board member in Austin Journal of Analytical and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, USA. He played key role in conducting the chemical sciences course under AcSIR as a Co-coordinator at CSIR-IITR, Lucknow. He also immensely contributed to NanoSHE network project (BSC0112) as a Co-Nodal scientist for its effective implementation to achieve its objectives. He visited countries like Australia, USA, Germany and France as part of his scientific collaborations and/or assignments.
