Name : Dr. Deepa Satish Shetty
Designation : Project Scientist-IIII

Brief Background :

I have more than 15 years of experience in teaching in Microbiology & Biotechnology. My Ph.D. work was on bioaugmentation of anaerobic digester with anaerobic fungi to enhance methane yield from rice straw. I have worked on industry sponsored projects for biohydrogen and biomethane production from rice straw. At present, I am working on Characterization of probiotic isolates.
