Biography
I have been working on different areas of bioprocess engineering for last 30 years. I have experiences on all the three areas on biological manufacturing namely fermentation, downstream processing and formulation of biologicals. I do innovative bioprocess engineering utilizing basic fundamental rules of biology. I have significantly contributed towards for growth of plant cells in bioreactor for the production of secondary metabolites (1991) and have reported the very first study on high cell density recombinant fermentation from India (1995). I have reported the highest amount of recombinant protein expression among the earliest Indian studies (1999). Novel protein refolding methods developed by me has been accepted worldwide for high throughput recovery of bioactive protein from inclusion bodies of E. coli (2005).
Research Interest
Application of chemical enginerring priciples to biological process . This includes developmemsnt of high cell density fed-batch fermenation fermentaion process for production nof recombinant proteins, high throughput protein refolding from inlcusion bodies and design of vaccines delivery system using biodegrdable polymer particles.
