Deepika Pal
Deepika Pal has a PhD in Microbiology. She graduated in 2018 at Jawaharlal Nehru University India. Her work was focused on pure culture isolation, cultivation, purification, identification and characterization of bacterial isolates from environmental samples. She has knowledge of identifying bacteria based on Polyphasic taxonomy. She is well versed with techniques like FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) analysis, MALDI and use of TLC (Thin layer chromatography) to reveal the cell wall amino acids, lipids, and sugars. She has an experience in environmental DNA analysis and knowledge of bacterial metagenomics study, data analysis, and interpretation. She has also gained some experience in scientific paper and project writing. Dr Deepika is author and co-author of 7 peer –reviewed articles in highly ranked international journals with citations more than 50 and H index 4. She has worked as a research associate in a project focused on enzymes isolation and purification. She has also worked as Pharmacovigilance Scientist in Paraxel International, India.
