ABOUT ME
I am a Professor at Centre of Biomedical Research since 2007. Before that I was at CSIR CDRI where I was working in the field of metabolomics of plants, isolation of natural products and their characterization using NMR spectroscopy. At CBMR my group is engaged in disease diagnostics and the identification of disease biomarkers.
