After taking master\'s in Aquaculture from CIFE in 2014, I am working in CIBA since 2016. I currently work under Nutrition Genetics and Biotechnology Division in CIBA. I have worked on embryonic development of Amphiprion ocellaris with regard to temperature effects during my masters’ program. My interest is in the application of biotechnological tools for the growth improvement of aquaculture species.

  • CRISP-R Technology for growth improvement of finfishes
  • Population genetic studies of selected brackishwater fish species
No Title Funded By
1 Application of advanced molecular and bioinformatics tools for improvement of brackishwater fish and shellfish Institute
2 Development of hatchery technologies for breeding and seed production of candidate brackishwater finfish species under improved captive rearing systems Institute
3 Investigation of existing/emerging diseases in candidate brackishwater species and development of preventive/treatment strategies for effective management Institute
