Biotechnology, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Dwarka,
Sector-16C, Delhi- 110078, India
Research Interest:
Plant signal transduction, gene
expression and
nitrogen use efficiency
from scientific writing and policy research. The main research focus of his
lab has been in the functional biology of nitrogen metabolism in rice and
Spirulina (Arthrospira), using a combination of biochemical, molecular,
genetic, genomic and bioinformatic approaches. Another area of interest has
been in the functional genomics of G-protein and GPCR signalling in rice and
Arabidopsis. He also collaborates with biomedical scientists, computational
physicists and biologists. His broader interests include health,
environment, education, science dissemination and policy. His publications
include
41 articles in refereed journals, 13 books,
21 book chapters, 7
microarrays (GEO), 16 sequences (GenBank), 27 other articles and 10 book
reviews. He received over
1350 citations from over 50 countries, with a h
index of
17 and i10 Index of 28.
Academic & Professional background
He obtained his M.Sc.(Life
Sci.) Ed from NCERT (Utkal University, 1984) and worked on the cloning and
expression of bacterial cellulase genes for his M.Phil (University of Pune,
1987). As a Research Associate at the Thapar Corporate R&D Centre, Patiala
(1987-88), he isolated osmotolerant yeasts and developed the technology for
ethanol production from molasses using whole-cell immobilized column
bioreactor, which was eventually commercialized. He obtained his Ph.D in
Life Sciences (Jawaharlal Nehru University, 1994), for his work on signal
transduction and regulation of nitrate reductase gene expression in maize.
After a brief post-doctoral stint as a CSIR Research Associate at JNU, he
moved to the Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi, as Research
Associate and Correspondent for its magazine, Down to Earth (1995-97).
Between 1997 and 2002, he worked as a Lecturer at the Department of Life
Sciences, University of Mumbai, where he designed curricula and taught
molecular biology and biochemistry at the Masters level. He was a visiting
guest faculty at the Centre for Biotechnology, JNU in 2001, where he
designed and taught a course in plant biotechnology at the Masters level. He
was a INSA-Royal Society Visiting Fellow at the IACR-LARS, UK, in 2001. He
taught 18 courses for B.Tech/M.Tech/M.Sc./Ph.D and mentored 54 researchers
for Ph.D/ M.Tech/M.Sc./B.Tech so far in 3 universities and held research
projects and consultancies from government and industry. As a Co-founder of
the Indian Nitrogen Group, Director of the South Asian Nitrogen Centre and
Steering Committee member of the UNEP Global Partnership on Nutrient
Management, he facilitated interdisciplinary international consultations on
the research and policy aspects of reactive nitrogen and other nutrients in
agriculture, industry and environment. As the
Editor-in-Chief of the Springer
journal, Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants, he put it among the top
few plant journals in Asia and ahead of
272 globally. As Vice President,
Society for Scientific Values, he enhanced its reputation in India and
abroad.
