- Marine invertebrate tissue culture
- Marine Microalgae
After obtaining masters in botany in 1982, I joined in CPCRI in 1984. I am working in CMFRI since 1996 on molluscan fisheries and mariculture. I took Ph.D in aquaculture biotechnology in 2004. I am currently working as senior scientist in the division of marine biotechnology in CMFRI. I have worked on pearl oyster hatchery and contributed to the in-vitro pearl formation for the first time in the world. I have interests in marine invertebrate tissue culture and marine microalgal culture.
