Department of Zoology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda
Since early school days, I was inclined towards Science, which turned into my passion and made me pursue Biology as career. Meeting excellent faculties at S.N College, Kollam while graduation and exposure to developmental biology during M.Phil., stimulated my interest in research. It naturally culminated in me pursuing a Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Bonny Pilo, at The Maharaja Sayajirao University. During my academic career of 23 years, I have received several major research grants from leading national funding agencies. So far, 22 students have been awarded Ph.D. under my guidance. I firmly believe that Science should be made lucid for a layman to understand, which will eventually lead to an overall development of the society.
