Current Research Area:

 Currently we are working on various aspects of algal research that includes, ecotoxicological studies of nanoparticles on algal physiology, phyconanosynthesis, biodiesel production from algae, production of high value compounds and molecular systematics of algal flora. However, given the expertise and technical understanding, we are open for any kind of collaborations in the field of molecular biology, genomics, transcriptomics, DNA barcoding, genetic diversity etc.
