Dr. Arka Mukhopadhyay

About

I have expertise in the areas of enzymology (protein purification, kinetic and structural characterization and modification in terms of stability and activity), Molecular Biology (cloning, over-expression and mutation studies), Nanotechnology and Industrial Biotechnology. I have translated results of basic research into technological applications (leading to several patent applications) and identify strongly with the application of scientific innovation to industry.
