Summary of Academic Career:

I am teaching cell biology, molecular biology, rDNA technology (theory and lab) as major teaching assignments and my ongoing research program complements well in my teaching. My research is focused on understanding cellular and molecular basis of survival and virulence of Candida albicans under diverse microenvironment. Tools and techniques used in my research program greatly help me in designing and teaching laboratory courses of molecular biology & genetic engineering (cloning and transformation, expression analysis, next generation sequencing, etc.) cell biology (microscopy: light, fluorescent, SEM, TEM and FACS for cell cycle regulation) and proteomics (2-DGE, LCMS/MS), etc. Undergraduate students joining my laboratory for their masters thesis, work on our ongoing projects and get hands on training in these techniques. I have developed and offered a 4 credit course on Biopharming and molecular medicine as an elective. In addition to this I am also contributing to other courses like plant tissue culture and biotechnology, plant physiology, etc. I had been associated with designing and updating curriculum of masters program (Biotechnology) of SRTMU, Nanded and  Univ. of Pune.
