The main focus of our lab is to reveal the yet unknown diversity of the Indian microbiome including gut, scalp, skin microbiomes in healthy and diseased individuals. We are also pioneers in sequencing and functional analysis of novel eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes. We use machine learning and artificial intelligence-based methods for Biology Big Data analysis and to develop new software.
