• Area
of Research : Biodegradation of caffeine by Pseudomonas.
• Education profile
: B.Sc. (Biology ,Chemistry ,Botany),2000, Utkal University, Orissa,
M.Sc.Microbiology (2002) ,O.U.A.T,Orissa.
• Achievements :
Gold medal in M. Sc., Qualified in GATE.
• Hobbies :
Reading thrillers and science fiction, Word games, Listening to music.
• A
Glimpse on research work : The area of my research
is microbial caffeine degradation. The goal of my work is to study
key enzyme(s) involved in the degradation of caffeine by Pseudomonas
species,its sub cellular localization,purification and characterization.
The caffeine degrading property of the strain has already been
shown to be plasmid borne. Sequencing of the plasmid and subsequent
identification of the genes involved in degradation pathway are
also included in future research plans.
