About
Anurag chaurasia, male, biotechnologist born on 23rd January 1971 at Varanasi, India. He did graduation & post graduation from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi in 1994.During his M.Sc. thesis he discovered the anticancer & antifertility biomolecules in Piper betle plant which finally led to development of first drug for incurable blood cancer by IICB group. He was selected for all competitive examination and finally joined Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) of Government of India at National Research centre on Plant Biotechnology (NRCPB), Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), PUSA, New Delhi. He served there as faculty member of Molecular biology & biotechnology (MBBT) and guided several students. He was associated with World Bank funded National Agricultural Technology Project (NATP), Bt- transgenic Pigeon pea, Rice & cotton project. His team developed the first transgenic bt-brinzal, tomato, rice etc and helped in formulating rule & regulation of transgenic field trail and conducted first field trail of GMO’s in India. In June 2005 he was given special assignment of establishing Indian microbial culture collection institute “National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM)” in public interest.He served ICAR-NBAIM till june 27, 2017, and joined ICAR-IIVR, Varanasi on june 28, 2017 . He is acting as reviewer for many internationally recognized and reputed scientific journals. He is a member editorial board of the "Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology" Springer, Associate editor of the journal "Biodiversity and Conservation" Springer, member editorial board of the journal "Biodegradation" Springer, International Journal of Food Microbiology, Elsevier, and editor of Data-in-Brief, Elsevier.He is expert reviewer for project proposals submitted to various funding agencies like DBT, ICAR etc, and has been invited to deliver the lead lecture at various national and international conferences. His opinion articles in Nature journal have been accepted by the government in formulating the GM and New Education Policy of the nation.
