He has worked extensively in industry as Group leaders at Hoffmann-la-Roche and DSM and is Invited Professor at Nancy University in France. Vikas Kumar is an assistant professor of fish nutrition and nutrigenomics at the University of Idaho in the United States. He has more than a decade of research in aquaculture and nutritional biochemistry, fish nutrition, nutritional physiology, gut health, and feed processing, formulation, and nutrigenomics approaches to enhancing aquaculture production. He currently serves as an editorial board member of Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group) and as leading associate editor for the Animal Feed Science and Technology (Elsevier) and the Journal of the World Aquaculture Society (Wiley).
