Divya Prakash is currently, Assistant Research Professor in Prof. James G. Ferry lab at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA. As a model system, he focus on Methanosarcina acetivorans , a versatile methane producing microbe which is found in such diverse environments as oil wells, trash dumps, deep-sea hydro thermal vents, and oxygen-depleted sediments beneath kelp beds. He uses a multidisciplinary approach of biochemistry, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and spectroscopy (EPR and Mossbauer) to address the scientific questions of di sulfide reductases. He has completed his doctorate under the supervision of Dr. Evert Duinat the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Auburn University. His doctorate research was focused on the understanding the process of activation of Methyl-co-enzyme M reductase (MCR) and study of the effect of the methanogenesis inhibit or 3-nitrooxypropanol on MCR. Before Joining Dr. Duin’s lab, he earned a M. Phil. from the Jawaharlal Nehru University. During his M.Phil. he studied the “Synergistic Effect of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles (HAp) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) to prevent osteoporosis in Rat Induced by Simulated Micro gravity.” He discovered that PEMF along with HAp has the potential to control bone loss induced by simulated micro gravity.
