Microbiology

Submitted Ph.D. in Microbiology, mainly focusing on Biofortification through the application and new methodologies developed to overcome malnutrition amongst the human and animal. Micronutrient deficiencies, mainly those arising from zinc (Zn) which is a serious human health problem for more than 2 billion people worldwide. • Handling of various instruments including, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, thermal cycler, Spectrofluorometer, HPLC, FTIR, statistical software SPSS, various bioinformatics tools and Bioinformatics software’s. • Editor in International Journal: Biomedical journal of Scientific and Technical Research.
