Teaching Experience

Gaurav has completed his MSc & Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from Jawaharlal Nehru University. He has developed the processes to overproduce a number of therapeutic and industrial importance recombinant proteins.
After Ph.D. degree, he moved to Osaka University Japan to learn concepts of metabolic engineering and high-throughput bioprocess analytical techniques. He has studied genome wide transcriptome of S cerevisiae under stressed condition to improve bioprocess yields.
Gaurav has worked in vaccine industry and later academic-industry interface. He has contributed for technology development for manufacturing and analytical characterization of various antigens. Later these technologies were transferred to cGMP manufacturing for production of vaccine candidates for further preclinical and clinical development

Plants expose to environment generally encounter various abiotic stresses such as drought, high or low temperature, salinity, heavy metals ultimately induce oxidative stress that causes permanent damage to all macromolecules and disturbs the cellular homeostasis and drastically effects the growth and productivity of the plant. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of abiotic stress tolerance and to enhance the crop yield our research team is focused on transcriptome profiling in response to abiotic stress for identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by isolation and functional validation of candidate genes involve abiotic stress tolerance. Characterization and determining the expression patterns of these candidate genes in response to abiotic stress, and an improved understanding of their roles in stress adaptation will provided the basis of effective engineering strategies leading to greater stress tolerance in crops.

Dr. Rinu Sharma obtained her master's degree in Biotechnology and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. She carried out her doctoral research on the identification and characterization of differentially expressed genes in human esophageal cancer. Subsequently, she pursued her postdoctoral research in Department of Biochemistry AIIMS, as Research Scientist. The salient features of her work have been published in reputed international journals, including Int.J.Cancer, Plos One, BMC Cancer and Genomics. She has extramural grants from various funding agencies viz. DBT, DST, UGC etc. She has also guided the research work of Ph.D, postgraduate and undergraduate students at G.G.S. I.P. University and AIIMS.

Her current areas of interest are identification of non-invasive blood based biomarkers for early diagnosis of esophageal cancer and functional analysis of significantly altered genes using gene silencing and proteomic approaches. Her group is also interested in deciphering the clinical as well as functional significance of miRNAs in esophageal cancer
