Dr. Suraj Shukla

About

I, Dr. Suraj Shukla, am a Scientist at Siemens Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. and hold a Ph.D. in Microbiology from The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. My work focuses on microbial genomics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and virulence, backed by substantial expertise in Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), bioinformatics, and molecular diagnostics. My research centers on the genomic surveillance of ESKAPE pathogens, particularly Klebsiella pneumoniae, to monitor the evolution of resistance and virulence patterns. I actively serve as a peer reviewer for journals including Scientific Reports and BMC Microbiology, and I am committed to promoting diagnostic innovations and investigating alternative therapies such as bacteriophage therapy.
