Ravi Kr GuptaRavi Kr. Gupta was awarded with several national level scholarships from CSIR and ICMR during his doctoral study and his PhD thesis was awarded Dr. M. M. Dhar Award. Then he moved to the USA as a postdoctoral fellow to enhance his research skills wit the state-of-the art techniques in genes and small non-coding RNA regulation in bacteria. Currently he works as assistant professor of microbiology at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (A Central University). His long-term research goals are to better understand the regulatory mechanism of small non-coding RNAs and their role in human and animal pathogens that may lead to the development of alternative therapeutic approach to treat infections. His laboratory is also working to identify novel antimicrobials from natural sources against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens. Read More Read Less
