The lab!

Dr. Amit K. Baidya

Principal Investigator

I started my research journey at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB), Kolkata, for a doctoral degree and at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, for postdoctoral research. In our lab, we are studying the mechanism of contact mediated bacteria-bacterial interaction and host-pathogen interaction.
