Engaged in active research and teaching in the field of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology. I am also doing research in Immunobiology and doing Isolation, Purification, and characterization of animal toxins and production of polyclonal antibodies against toxin...

Biography

Presently I am serving as Professor and HOD in Department of Zoology, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University, and Gorakhpur and providing my service regularly since 2001. I have done research work on toxins purification, antibody production, vaccine immunotherapy, stem cell therapy and cancer. I am working on purification of animal toxins, its toxicity determination and neutralization by using polyclonal antibodies in animal models since last 24 years. 14 students have been awarded Ph. D under my supervision. Four more students are doing their research work for obtaining Ph. D degree working in different areas of interest i.e. control of garden and forest termites by using different plant based formulations and evaluation of antimicrobial action of plant natural products in vitro cultures. I have published more than 230 international publications covering 61 different international journals and 3 book chapters, delivered more than 27 invited lectures at seminars and conferences.
