Arun Singh Pathania pursued Ph.D from National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar in Biotechnology. Area of interest: Enzyme and microbial technology, Bioprocess Engineering, Bioinformatics

In Ph.D he has worked on isolation and characterization of biosurfactant producing microbes and studied biosurfactant production from waste frying oil and co-substrates. Durning this phase he has learnt:  isolation and microbial characterisation of indigenous microbes, statistical optimization (RSM) for media formulation and equational modelling for different process (batch, fed batch and continous).

He has also worked in evaluating the insecticidal properties of Lectins extracted from different plant sources on Drosophila melanogaster durning his M.Phil.

He has developed a keen interest in Drug designing and homology modelling while defending his M.Tech dissertation on topic "Computational analysis of sialyltransferase in malignant tumour".
