Biography

Having a background in Chemistry and Biotechnology I developed an early research interests in understanding life processes in extremophilic microorganisms. After my M. Sc. I gained extensive research expertise in the field of microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, proteomics and computational genomics while working at Jadavpur University, Kolkata. I was awarded Fulbright Nehru Doctoral and Professional fellowship to conduct research on microbial Chromium bioremediation at University of California, Berkeley. Subsequently I joined Wildlife Institute of India in DST-NMSHE project. I am continuing my work with microorganisms to understand climate change impacts in the Indian Himalayan region. In future I would like to focus my research on microbial metagenomics and transcriptomics. Apart from academic interests my other hobbies are painting, cooking and gardening.
