Bindu Sunilkumar

Learning is an essential part of my life. However, the most crucial part is to never stop learning, strong determination and perseverance to achieve any dreams. The thirst for knowledge is the driving force for me to resign from my career for more than 3 years in bioinformatics research to pursue my Ph.D. I have obtained my Ph.D. in Food Chemistry. The experience over 10 years in both university and industry, locally and internationally especially in Asia and Europe has prepared me to be a versatile, enthusiastic, and experienced scientist. An excellent presenter and highly skills in communication. My colleagues described me as a sociable, emphatic, structured, and enthusiastic person.

Worked as an assistant lecturer at master’s level at the Department of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics, University of Kerala. Supervision of master’s students with their thesis. Worked with the syllabus for masters students at Bioinformatics and Biotechnology
