Brajogopal Samanta

Assistant Professor, Life sciences, GSS, VSP

sbrajogo@gitam.edu | | |

Dr. Samanta, a Marine Microbiologist, is inquisitive about studying microbial interactions to understand microbial diversity, metabolic potential, & evolution from marine ecosystems. He earned PhD from IISER-Kolkata, on the diversity & ecology of phytoplankton from Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem. In Post-Doc at Mount Allison University, Canada, he worked on the reproduction & molecular evolution of diatoms. He presently leads the marine microbial ecology research group at GITAM.
