Niraj Kumar

PhD-SRF

  • ICAR NET qualified (2017)
  • CSIR UGC Fellowship (2018)
  • GATE - XL (2018)

    • My research focus is to reveal unique function of a hibernation promotion factor RafH, induces under environmental stress (Hypoxia) condition in mycobacteria. RafH protein inhibts the protein synthesis, protect ribosomes from RNase degradation and provides resistance against antibiotics to mycobacteria.
