Muthusamy Ranganathan

About

I have been worked in the Biotechnology Department, Molecular Entomology Laboratory, Periyar University, TN, India. Recently I am doing Assistant Professor post in PG and Research Centre in Biotechnology and my research interest is entomology work related to vector control and management, pest control using chemical bio and Nano pesticide and biological rhythm research in insects. I am doing collaboration work with many scientist in different countries like China, South Korea, Tanzania, relevant to my filed of interest.
