Dynamics of Immune Activation in Viral Diseases

Dr. Pallaval Veera Bramhachari is currently Head of the Department of Biotechnology at Krishna University, India. He has served as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Bacterial Pathogenesis Laboratory, Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR), Australia, and DBT Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, Indian Institute of Science (IIsc), Bangalore. He holds a Ph.D. in Microbiology from Goa University, India. His research focuses on applied microbiology and cell biology research, including the biochemical mechanisms of bacterial-biofilm formation, structure-function relationship of bacterial rhamnolipids, and basic and translational cancer research. He has published more than 115 research articles in leading peer-reviewed international journals and 3 books, and has presented 47 abstracts at various national and international conferences. He has served as an editorial board member and reviewer for a number of national and international journals, and is a member of several international scientific societies and organizations, most importantly, the Indian Science Congress & Society of Biological Chemists, India. He has received a number of prestigious awards, notably, AP State Best Scientist Award 2017, DST SERB Young Scientist Award (2011) and was nominated as an Associate Fellow of Andhra Pradesh Academy of Sciences (APAS) for the year 2016.
