ASHITHA JOSE

PhD Scholar, mail ID: ashithajose91@gmail.com

Research area:  Bionanocomposites : They are emerging as novel and efficient materials with tunable properties which make it to have diverse applications. Focus here is to develop bionanocomposites with antimicrobial properties as packaging material to enhance the shelf life of the food and also to reduce the post-harvest loss.

MAYA MATHEW

PhD Scholar, mail ID: maya.benson235@gmail.com

Research area: Antimicrobial resistance(AMR) :As the emergence of anti-microbial-resistant from the natural environment is a serious threat to human and animal health, this study will be focussed on wild birds which may function as important host reservoirs and potential vectors for the spread of resistant bacteria and genetic determinants of AMR.

Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria for its commercial development as probiotics for poultry.

Rashtriya Ucchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA 2.0) is a  Centrally Sponsored National Scheme for funding State Level Institutions to mainly improve overall quality of existing State higher educational institutions. RUSA funded project (project number :09) under the theme ‘Biotechnology’ has been sanctioned at the School of Biosciences, Mahatma Gandhi University for the academic year 2023-2024, and is currently being implemented in the department.

Title of the project: “Designer probiotics to mitigate the combined abiotic and pathogen stress in plants by deciphering the molecular crosstalk between Oryza sativa and its microbiome”.
