With >25 years of Teaching and research experience at the Department of Biotechnology, CUSAT. Job activities include teaching and mentoring post graduate students of the Masters’ program in Biotechnology, and Microbiology (since 2018). In addition, several Masters’ dissertation projects of student were also supervised during this period. Besides, doctoral supervision of research scholars at the Department of Biotechnology, CUSAT. Several students working under my supervision as well as those with joint supervision have been awarded doctoral degrees. My team successfully worked with C. elegans and Zebrafish as model organisms for research purposes in the Department of Biotechnology, besides working on the bacterial system. We have published these works in peer reviewed journals with high IF. During these two and half decades, several projects with total worth of a few crores of rupees have been awarded. Granted the UGC-Midcareer award in 2020.
