Ganesh Sriram
(Lab website|UM faculty website)
Dr. Ganesh Sriram is an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at University of Maryland. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in chemical engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Mumbai, India. From 1999 to 2004, he worked toward his Ph.D. in the lab of Dr. Jacqueline Shanks at Iowa State University, Ames, IA. From 2004 to 2007, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the labs of Dr. Katrina Dipple and Dr. James Liao at University of California, Los Angeles.
Dr. Sriram's research interests are metabolic engineering and systems biology, especially metabolic flux analysis and gene regulatory network analysis. See lab research page for more information.
