About Me

Hi there! My name is Noel Joseph Saji, a 2024 Biotechnology engineering graduate from Delhi Technological University (DTU) in India and an aspiring animatronics engineer.
My Past Work

As part of my undergraduate research work, I worked on the production and enhancement of cellulase enzymes derived from a genetically modified Penicillium funiculosum fungal strain termed PfOAO3. This fungus is well known for its potential in hydrolyzing cellulosic biomass, and this specific strain was modified to enhance this property for use in industrial production of biofuels. I conducted two experiments, the first experiment delved into cellulase production by PfOAO3, employing various analytical techniques. The second experiment aimed to enhance cellulase production by utilising Ethyl Methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis.
