Faculty Bio

Dr. Bhargab Kalita is an Assistant Professor at the Amrita Research Centre Faridabad, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. Dr. Kalita obtained his M.Sc. in Biotechnology (2013) from St. Anthony’s College under the North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong and Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (2019) from Tezpur University, Assam. His Ph.D. thesis revealed intriguing variation in snake venom proteome composition due to disparities in geographic locations and its subsequent impact on antivenom therapy. Subsequently, he joined as a DBT-Research Associate at the Proteomics Lab of National Centre for Cell Science, Pune. His postdoctoral work was focussed on unveiling the mechanistic insights of oncogenic F-box proteins in cancer and difference in proteomic signatures in haematological malignancies. His current research interests include cancer biology and development of biotherapeutics for cancer therapy from various natural and synthetic sources. His laboratory focuses on development of cancer biotherapeutics and its viable production using different cellular expression systems. In addition, his lab is exploring the diverse molecular and biochemical changes in cancer cells in response to biotherapeutics so as to better understand the efficacy of these molecules in restraining cancer growth.
