Biography

Dr. Shobha D. obtained her Master’s degree in Biotechnology from St. Aloysius College, Mangalore and Doctoral degree in Plant Molecular Biology from Mangalore University. After completion of her Ph.D, she worked as Post Doctoral Fellow at Department of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. During her Post Doctoral training she worked on biogenesis and structural characterization of surface macromolecules from Helicobacter pylori for translational medical applications. Currently she is involved in the identification of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers in various infectious diseases.
