Prathiviraj R

About

Dr. R. PRATHIVIRAJ has received his M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D., in Bioinformatics from the School of Biotechnology, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli-24, Tamil Nadu, India. Presently, he is working as a Scientist-D in the Division of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Department of Biosciences, Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, Kochi, India. He has six years of postdoctoral research experience (funded by DST-SERB, New Delhi, India & DBT-AMRWATCH Indo-UK collaboration project funded by DBT, 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 research is mainly focused on Evolutionary and Structural Biology, Molecular Systems Engineering, Metagenomics and NGS. His current research focuses on the development of microbial cell factories and bioprocess technology for producing biofuels, 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.
