Dr Ranjeet Singh is a molecular microbiologist and an enzyme biochemist. He is working as Fellow at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi since 2015. He has a doctoral degree in molecular microbiology from CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH), Chandigarh and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. His research work focuses on pathogenesis of mycobacteria and characterization of virulent factors and DNA binding proteins and their associate genes in mycobacteria and E coli. His current research interests are in the areas of gene regulation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), and protein and enzyme characterization of several environmental bacteria. His other research interests are in microbial biotechnology for expression and purification of recombinant proteins, enzymes and biopolymers from different bacterial sources for their cost-effective production and potential industrial applications.
He has published four research articles in international peer reviewed Journal in his area of research. He is a serving as a reviewer of International Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology in microbiology and biochemistry.
