Introduction


I am Dr. Kiran Kumar H.B, PhD. I am trained in Human Population genetics during my PhD and PDF tenures.I have a higher first class MSc(Biotechnology), and BSc qualification.During my UG and PG days have been actively involved in contributing science articles to college magazines, organizing and attending science talks in life sciences. During my PhD and PDF tenure I have attended several courses and conferences in Human genetics. These have helped me to develop comprehensive understanding of Complex Human traits and population genetics. Have also presented regular journal club research papers and in several national and international conferences. I delivered science talks at various institutes.

I have also worked for few years which have helped me develop oratory and pedagogy skills. These activities are a reflection of my scientific temperament and dedication. 

In my publishing career have published several papers in peer-reviewed international and national journals.The total cumulative impact factor-40(h-index-10,i10- index-8.). However, do to several personal and health shortcomings had to break my career for 4 to 5 years. However, since 2 years have gained momentum and have published 5 papers and actively acting as resource person to Nrupathunga university, Bangalore in facilitating access to journals,student seminars and journal club activities. 

I would like to add since a year I have reviewed 2 books and few research articles including reviews to peer- reviewed journals. I am a regular subscriber to several international and national journals. I constantly update myself in other areas of life sciences and few areas of chemistry and physics.

In the last few years I have gained spiritual knowledge under the Sri Rama Krishna Mission and SringeriSharadhapeetamthis has given me a different view of about Science and life holistically.

I see this opportunity to be a board member to add value to the journal through my knowledge and grow along the path.
