Akesh Sinha

I consider myself a sincere, hard-working and innovative researcher, who believes in team effort. I have spent considerable period of time in research on projects that are of wider applicability. During my post-doctoral tenure, I have been primarily involved in designing novel protein mutants with desirable properties using directed evolution approach. As a PhD graduate student, I have investigated the DNA binding properties of a protein called PhoP from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Throughout my career, I have published several research articles in various internationally reputed journals. In addition, I have also received several scholarships offering financial assistance at various stages of my career. My professional interest lies in using protein engineering skills for innovation of novel bioproducts/processes that could make significant contributions to various aspects of our society and give my organization a leading edge in this era of global competition.
