BIOGRAPHY

Indira P. Sarethy is Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, and Associate Dean – PERCEPTION, BRANDING & COLLABORATION. She has been in teaching and research for twenty years, working at Lady Doak College, Madurai, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi and Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Noida before taking up the present assignment at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida. She has done her post-graduation and PhD from Madurai Kamaraj University (Madurai) on stress-related aspects using in vitro propagation systems of plants.

She is CSIR-UGC-NET and GATE qualified and has been the recipient of CSIR Junior and Senior Research Fellowships for doctoral studies. She has completed a funded project from Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India, in collaboration with CSIR-NEIST, Jorhat.

As Associate Dean, she is involved in Interfacing for perception & fostering collaboration and is the Programme Coordinator for online courses (Swayam/NPTEL),

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Her research interest is in bioresources, specifically natural products (for therapeutic and industrial applications) from microbial and plant biodiversity. Based on a culture-dependent approach, microorganisms from niche habitats (desert, forest, limestone rock, monuments, endophytic, fermented food) are identified and characterized for bioactive compounds. Metagenomics-based approaches focus on eliciting production of natural products from environmental DNA. The group leverages capabilities to taxonomically characterize and study microbial diversity (cultivable and metagenomic) for products of use in environment waste management and of industrial importance - anti-microbial metabolites, biosurfactants, anti-oxidants and enzymes. In vitro propagation of endangered medicinal plants and the effect of culture conditions on bioactive natural compounds have also been studied. The key outcomes have been:

  • Understudied habitats have been used for bioprospection of microbial diversity for in vitroelucidation of natural products.
  • Novel antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds have been characterized
  • New actinobacterial taxa from the Thar Desert have been taxonomically characterized
  • Metabolites such as biosurfactants, enzymes and siderophores have been identified for environmental bioremediation purposes
  • Metagenomic studies for environmental waste management and for elucidating the microbial profile of inland water bodies has shown presence of many unique microorganisms
  • Microbial profiling of traditional Indian fermented food using conventional and metagenomic approaches is in progress
