Profile

The main focus on environmental biotechnology (mainly fungal and enzymatic processes) dedicated to the elimination of emerging contaminants (e.g. endocrine disrupters and Pharmaceutical Compounds (PhCs)) present in wastewater. In the past 8 years of research, IBP Lab developed innovative approaches for the development of enzymatic bioprocesses, such as new generation of lignin modified ezymes (LME)-based reusable biocatalysts and bioreactors designed for their use, for the elimination of emerging pollutants. In addition, IBP Lab focuses on the reaction products generated by LME-mediated elimination of contaminants. IBP Lab has developed active national and international collaborations (Sherbrooke University, Canada, Morelos university, Mexico etc.). IBP Lab received funds from the Department of Science and Technology, All India Council for Technical Education, Fonds de recherche du Québec, National Science and Engineering Research Council. These funds represent close to Rs. 6600000 of external research funds supporting research until 2021.
