Dr. Gaurav Sharma
Dr. Gaurav Sharma is a microbiologist with a keen interest in microbial enzyme production and bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. His research primarily focuses on the production of thermophilic enzymes from fungi for efficient hydrolysis of biorefinery-relevant pretreated lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars. His work also involves developing high-yielding fungal strains for enhanced lignocellulolytic enzyme production through random mutagenesis, strain breeding, and molecular cloning techniques. He has published nine research articles in highly reputed journals.
