Dr. M. Nagarajan is an Associate Professor, at Department of Genomic Science, School of Biological Science, Central University of Kerala, Kasaragod, Kerala, India. His research interests primarily focus on population genetics, functional genomics and microbiome of wild and domestic animals. He received his M.Sc and PhD in Environmental Biotechnology from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India. After his Ph.D, he carried out his postdoctoral research at Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, India and then at Laboratoire de Biologie Moléculaire de la Cellule, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France. He was an Assistant Professor at Sri Paramakalyani Centre for Environmental Sciences, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Alwarkurichi, Tamil Nadu before joining Central University of Kerala in 2012. He is an editorial board member of Scientific Reports, BMC Genomics, PLoS One, Frontiers in Genetics, and Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. He is a member of ISAG-FAO Advisory Group on Animal Genetic Diversity. He has more than 40 publications in leading international journals including PLoS Genetics and Molecular Ecology.
