Thriving for excellence

Dr. Nirmalya Ganguli | Scientist - E

Scientist and translational biotechnologist with ~18 years of experience in biomanufacturing, precision biotherapeutics, transgenics, gene editing, and functional genomics. Currently serving as Scientist-E at BRIC-National Institute of Animal Biotechnology, working at the intersection of Biomanufacturing, Precision Biotherapeutics, Molecular bioengineering, Cellular engineering, Transgenics, and Reproductive biotechnology.

My research focuses on developing next-generation biological production systems using engineered mammary epithelial cells, transgenic platforms, exosome engineering, and advanced gene delivery technologies. I have contributed to multiple patented technologies, including engineered signal peptides, mammalian transfection systems, recombinant bovine FSH production, and exosome-based therapeutic protein loading platforms.

Over the years, I have worked extensively on:

• Biotherapeutic production platforms.
• Mammary gland biofactories and transgenic animal technologies.
• CRISPR and functional genomics approaches.
• Exosome engineering.
• Germ cell engineering and reproductive biotechnology.
• Translational molecular biotechnology for biomedical applications.

I have authored/co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, patents, book chapters, and scientific presentations in the fields of animal biotechnology, transgenesis, and molecular therapeutics.

Passionate about translating cutting-edge biological research into scalable technologies with applications in healthcare, livestock biotechnology, and future biomanufacturing ecosystems.
