About
Dr. M. Balasubramanian, M.Phil., Ph.D., SET, is an accomplished Indian researcher and educator specializing in microbiology, enterobacterial infections, molecular biology, and lichen-based bioprospective studies, brings over 14 years of cumulative experience in academia and industry. My expertise spans molecular simulations and therapeutic compound discovery from natural sources, particularly lichens. With a strong foundation in life sciences and teaching biotechnology at both UG and PG levels, I am committed to nurturing scientific inquiry and translational research. I am actively involved in advanced drug discovery using in silico techniques and has published widely in SCOPUS and Web of Science-indexed journals. My interdisciplinary work, particularly in evaluating the biomedical potential of foliose lichens, has earned my professional recognition. As a life member of various academic societies, I continue to contribute to global biosciences with impactful teaching, research, and innovation.
