Biography

Dr. R. PRATHIVIRAJ has received his M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D., Bioinformatics in School of Biotechnology, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli-24, Tamil Nadu, India. Presently, he is working as a Post-Doctoral Fellow (funded by DST-SERB, New Delhi, India) in the Department of Microbiology, Pondicherry University (A Central University), Puducherry-14, India. He has 10 years of research experience and 3 years of academic activities. His area of the research field is mainly focusing on Evolutionary, and Structural Biology, Molecular Systems Engineering, and Meta-genomics. His current research work deals with the development of microbial cell factories and bioprocess technology for producing biofuel, bio-refineries, probiotics, and recombinant therapeutics using in silico organisms. It is clearly facilitating the use of targeted genetic modifications in cell factories with desirable phenotypes to increase the production yield or robustness in the heterologous hosts.
