Biography:
Goutam Gupta obtained his PH. D. in the area of structural biology of DNA. Interestingly, he discovered the role of DNA repeats in human diseases based upon their ability to adopt unusual structures. He then turned his attention to the immunological aspects of various infectious diseases: for example, how HIV surface antigen varies its sequence and structure to escape host immune pressure. Currently, he has been working on various pathogen-induced plant and human diseases to understand innate immune response and to develop diagnosis and therapy. He has over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
Title : Understanding of plant innate immune response and engineering of novel innate immunity for pathogen clearance and disease protection.
