About
Dr. T. S. Keshava Prasad is a recipient of Young Investigator Award from the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. He is leading IOB's efforts on the development of the Human Protein Reference Database, which is cited over 2000 times. In addition, he has successfully completed a DBT funded research project on proteomic profiling of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in collaboration with Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bangalore. His research group is now increasingly focusing on infectious diseases, human pathogens and vectors of human diseases. He is funded by DST, Government of India to develop an epitope based diagnostic gadget for the detection of tuberculosis in Indian population. He is using genomic and proteomic strategies to investigate biomarkers for infectious diseases including tuberculosis and malaria; and to identify molecules associated with host responses to infections in different chronic meningitis cases. Using proteogenomic principles, he is carrying out genome annotation of infectious fungi including species of Candida and Cryptococcus; and vector mosquitoes such as Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti. Recently, he has received the F1000 travel award from the Wellcome Trust to present the proteogenomic data of An. stephensi in the “EMBO international conference of Molecular and Population Biology of Mosquitoes” held at Kolymbari in Greece. He is an editorial board member for the Journal of Proteomics and Bioinformatics and a reviewer for the journals Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, PLOS One, Journal of Proteomics, Proteomics, Trends in Molecular Medicine, Genomics, BMC Bioinformatics, Bioinformatics, BBA - Proteins and Proteomics, DNA Research, International Journal of Molecular Sciences and Bioinformatics and Biology Insights.
