Subrat Kumar

Assistant Professor

Dr. Subrat Kumar completed his Ph.D from PGIMER, Chandigarh in Molecular Virology and has worked as Post Doc fellow in High Security Animal Disease laboratory (BSL4), Bhopal and University of Maryland, College Park, USA in understanding the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis in avian influenza virus. Currently he is working as assistant professor in the Department of Biotechnology, KIIT University. His long-term research interest is to understand the pathogenesis mechanisms in ARTIs due to viral infections (especially HMPV, RSV and hRV) in humans and its associated immune reactions, as in the context of developing a live attenuated vaccine. He is particularly interested in utilizing novel plasmid based reverse genetic system (PBRG) and other molecular virology tools for the analysis. He is a recipient of Young Scientist Award and best poster and oral presentations awards in various international/national conferences. He has trained two PhD students and numerous master candidates for their dissertation work. Currently Apart from his research endeavor, Dr. Subrat Kumar is also involved in teaching various advance and basic subjects to graduate and under graduate students at the school.
