Anil K. Ojha, PhD[1]
My interest is to understand the molecular basis of antibiotic persistence in mycobacteria. I like to learn from my lab members’ exciting new data, listen to their ideas, and develop future directions.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Microbiology from IISER Bhopal, India. As a post-doctoral researcher, I am interested in understanding the mechanism of antibiotic persistence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with hibernating ribosomes under zinc-deprived conditions.
