Shinjini Mukherjee

I am a microbial ecologist with a Master's degree in Biotechnology and a PhD in Environmental Microbiology. My main focus is understanding the impact of anthropogenic disturbances such as xenobiotic pollution and urbanization on microbial communities. I use high-throughput sequencing and trait based approaches to characterize microbial responses at the molecular level. Other areas of interest include metacommunity ecology, community phylogenetics and eco-evolutionary dynamics.
