Mr. Prasad Ade | Agharkar Research Institute

Name : Mr. Prasad Ade

Designation : Project Associate – 1

Brief Background :

I am a Project Associate at Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, under Dr. Sumit Singh Dagar. I hold a Master’s in Biophysics from BAMU Aurangabad, where I ranked first. My research focuses on anaerobic fungal diversity in the gut microbiomes of herbivores using culturomics and metagenomics. I have qualified in MH SET, GATE Biotechnology, and Life Sciences and previously worked on seed-specific transcription factors at NABI, Mohali.

My research focuses on exploring anaerobic fungal diversity in the gut microbiomes of herbivorous ruminants and non-ruminants using culturomics and metagenomics.

I aim to understand the dynamics of these microbial ecosystems and gain deeper insights into digestive microbiomes. Previously, as a research trainee at NABI, Mohali, I worked on the ‘Molecular and Functional Analysis of Seed-specific DOF Transcription Factor,’ enhancing my expertise in molecular biology and functional genomics.
