Paul,Sujay

Dr. Sujay Paul has 15+ years of extensive research experience in different areas of Genomics and Transcriptomics. He completed his doctoral studies from India (2004-2010) and the main area of his doctoral work was plant pathogen genomics. He has more than 5 years of postdoctoral research experience (2009-2016). During postdoctoral studies at the prestigious Bose Institute (India, 2009-2011) and UNAM (DGAPA, Mexico, 2011-2013) he focused on exploring the possible role of different stress-responsive plant genes, specially plant microRNAs during biotic and abiotic stresses. During his last postdoctoral stay (2014-2016) at UNALM, Peru (in collaboration with the University of Michigan, USA) he worked on industrially important microbial genomics. He has published more than 60 scientific articles (mostly as corresponding or as the first author) in different reputed international peer-reviewed journals with total citations of more than 900. He is also serving as an associate editor for the journal 3 biotech (Springer). Since 2018 he is working as a Research Professor (SNI level I) at ITESM, Queretaro Mexico, and his current area of work is to explore the functional roles of microRNAs in plants and animals, as well as to explore the MicroRNA function in human diseases. He teaches molecular biology, microbiology, genetic and protein engineering. He acted/is acting as supervisor/co-supervisor of the undergraduate/postgraduate thesis of several students. He is result-oriented, highly motivated, a fast learner, and a good team player. He can write research projects, design and perform research experiments independently or with a group of professionals.
