    • Current Research Area
      Our group is engaged in the study of Mammary Gland Proteomics to identify the putative biomarkers for lactational problems. The economically important genes are cloned and expressed in different prokaryotic and eukaryotic system and are subjected to Cell culture based functional characterization for their in-vitro application. Additionally, we are also involved in crystallization of native and recombinant proteins of therapeutic and prophylactic importance.

    Qualification:

    Name of the degree University Passing Year
    B.V.Sc. & A.H. with Hons GBPUA&T Pantnagar, Uttrakhand, India 2003
    M.V.Sc. (Animal Biotechnology) National Dairy Research Institute Karnal, Haryana India 2005
    Ph.D. (Animal Biotechnology) Indian Veterinary Research Institute Izatnagar, UP India 2008

    Research:

    Proteomics-based approach to understand lactation, pregnancy, and related disorders in bovine. Mass spectrometry-based proteome discovery and the development of biomarker-based diagnostics are at the fore of our research program. I am specialized in molecular cloning, protein expression, and purification in a wide range of hosts like bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cell lines, which are subjected to Cell culture-based functional characterization. Strength: High throughput Mass spectrometry-based proteomics and mammalian cell culture-based assays.
