IIT Bombay, India
Biography
Dr. Sanjeeva Srivastava is Associate Professor and group leader of proteomics laboratory at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He obtained his Ph.D from the University of Alberta and post-doc from the Harvard Medical School in the area of proteomics, stress physiology and has specialized expertise in applications of data enabled sciences in global health, developing country and resource limited settings. Current research in this group centers on biomarker and drug target discovery and deciphering the protein interaction networks in complex human diseases (gliomas) and infectious diseases (malaria) using high throughput proteomics, protein microarrays and mass spectrometry. Dr. Srivastava is an active contributor to global proteomics science and innovation. He serves on the Council of Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) and Executive Committee of Proteomics Society, India (PSI). He had organized two successful conferences – PSI-2014 and Targeted Proteomics International Symposium in 2015. He has published three special issues as editor, “Proteomics in India” for Journal of Proteomics; “Proteomics Research in India” for Nature India and “Protein Arrays” for Proteomics. Having extensive teaching experience at IITB and experience of conducting proteomics courses at CSHL provided him with the background to increase proteomics education for the global community. One of his special contributions has been the development of e-learning resources (MOOC, Virtual Proteomics Laboratory). He continues to develop proteomics & omics science and innovation together with and for the next generation of keen students, researchers and the research and education commons in Asia and global OMICS community.
