Sanjay Yadav

With over 10 years of experience independently running my own lab, I have successfully mentored 4 PhD students and numerous master students. As a Principal Investigator, I have effectively managed 5 extramural projects. My expertise lies in developing and establishing research methodologies in the fields of genomics, proteomics, cell biology, and advanced molecular biology techniques. Notably, I have also patented methods for protein detection in cool mist phase and circular RNA detection. Additionally, I have cultivated collaborations both within our country and internationally. In my role as an educator, I employ evidence-based teaching strategies to foster student engagement and drive positive learning outcomes.
