Hi, I am Dr. Trinetra Mukherjee, a BIENVENÜE MSCA-COFUND post doctoral reseacher at UNIVERSITE DE BRETAGNE OCCIDENTALE, France. Currently, I work on the investigation of adaptations by deep-sea piezophile under high pressure conditions, and the biotechnological potential of molecules responsible for such adaptations.
I obtained my Ph.D. as a DST-INSPIRE fellow in microbiology from the University of Burdwan, where I worked on the bioprospecting of extremophilic microbes from hot springs. My research interests lie in molecular biology, bioinformatics, “omics” techniques, and the diversity analysis of various extreme habitats. I have expertise in microbial-derived bioproducts with a focus on the chemical and functional characterization of carotenoids, enzymes, and plant growth promotion.
