Dr. Pallaval Veera Bramhachari is currently an associate professor in the Department of Biotechnology at Krishna University, Machilipatnam, AP, India. He has earlier served as a postdoctoral research scientist at the Bacterial Pathogenesis Laboratory, Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR-Berghofoer Research Center), Brisbane, Australia, and a DBT postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. He completed his PhD in Microbiology from Goa University, India. His major research interests are the investigation of applied research in microbiology and cell biology including the biochemical mechanism of bacterial-biofilm formations, extracellular microbial polysaccharides, and the structure-function relationship of bacterial biosurfactants (glycolipids and rhamnolipids), pathogenic and virulence characteristics of bacteria, basic, and translational cancer research. He has published more than 140 research articles in Scopus-indexed journals, authored and co-authored 8 international books and invited book chapters in prestigious peer-reviewed international, and presented 50 abstracts at various national and international conferences. He has served as reviewer and editorial board member for a number of international journals, including Plos, Frontiers, Elsevier, Springer, and John Wiley.He is a member of numerous international scientific societies and organizations, such as Indian Science Congress and Society of Biological Chemists, India. He completed two major research projects for the SERB, DST NRDMS, and Government of India. He was awarded a Travel Scholarship from QIMR in 2007, Australia, for attending the 4th Indo-Australian Biotechnology Conference in Brisbane, Australia. He was awarded with a Young Scientist Travel Fellowship (2007) from the DST, Government of India, for attending XVII Lancefield International Symposium at Porto Heli, Greece (2008). He was conferred with various prestigious awards: Science Education Research Board (SERB), Government of India Young Scientist Award (2011) with a research project and nominated as Associate Fellow of Andhra Pradesh Academy of Sciences (APAS) (2016), Master Trainer: Andhra Pradesh English Communications Skills Project. British Council and APSCHE (2017), Andhra Pradesh State Best Scientist Award (2017), Dr. V. Ramalingaswamy Memorial Award for Biomedical Sciences (2019), KAPL Award (Industrial Biotechnology), SBTI Annual Award (2022), Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Teacher Excellence Award (2022). He also obtained two Indian patents in 2017. He has more than 15 years of teaching experience in molecular microbiology, virology and immunology, IPR, bioprocess engineering, and microbial and environmental biotechnology at the university level.
