Biography

Dr. T. S. Keshava Prasad is a recipient of Young Investigator Award from the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. He is also a Principal Investigator in a DBT-funded consortium to establish a national database for tuberculosis. He is leading IOB's efforts on Human Protein Reference Database. In addition, he has a DBT-funded project to develop Mouse Protein Reference Database. Besides, he is also supported by a DBT grant for proteomic profiling of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in collaboration with Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bangalore. He is using differential proteomic strategies to profile the proteomes of infectious fungi including species of Candida and Aspergillus. He is an editorial board member for the Journal of Proteomics and Bioinformatics and a reviewer for the journals Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, Journal of Proteomics, Proteomics, Trends in Molecular Medicine, Genomics, BMC Bioinformatics, Bioinformatics, DNA Research, International Journal of Molecular Sciences and Bioinformatics and Biology Insights.
