Shyam K Masakapalli is a Professor in the School of Biosciences and Bioengineering at Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. His core expertise is in the areas of Metabolic Systems Biology of Plants and microbes with focus on cellular metabolism, Metabolomics, 13C Fluxomics, Phytochemistry, cellular bioprocessing and Agrotechnologies. He supervise PhD, Postdocs, MTech and BTech scholars at Metabolic Systems Biology Lab (MSBL). He served as the founding Chairperson of the School of Biosciences and Bioengineering (2022-24). He also served as a course coordinator of MTech Biotechnology, and Faculty advisor of BTech-MTech Bioengineering. He received “Distinguished Teacher Award” at IIT Mandi and executed/executing prestigious projects funded by ECR-SERB, DBT-BMBF, IMPRINT, SPARC and DBT-FarmerZone. He has been instrumental in establishing Botanical Garden at IIT Mandi which is also supporting his quest to identify novel "Himalayan Phytochemicals" for a range of applications.
Dr Masakapalli received PhD in Plant Sciences from the University of Oxford (Supervisors: Prof. George Ratcliffe and Dr. Nick Kruger) in 2012. He worked as a Postdoctoral fellow (2011-2015) first at the University of Oxford (with Dr. Lee Sweetlove) and later at the University of Bath, UK (with Prof. David Leak and Prof. Michael Danson) until he joined IIT Mandi in 2015 as Assistant Professor. He did his M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur in the department of Agriculture and Food Engineering in 2007.
