Contact Deeksha Gopaliya
Background
Ms. Deeksha Gopaliya is a Research Assistant in Fungal Metabolic Engineering at the Magan Centre for Applied Mycology, Cranfield University. She did her Ph.D. in Microbial Biotechnology at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (India).
Her research focuses on harnessing fungal and yeast systems for the sustainable and cost-effective production of bio-based products. This includes rational strain engineering, bioprocess optimization, waste valorization, and downstream process development.
With a vision to unlock the power of fungi in building a green economy and supporting global net-zero missions, Ms. Deeksha aims to advance fungal metabolic engineering by developing robust fungal strains optimized for industrial applications. Her broader goal is to push the frontiers of industrial mycology and design next-generation fungal cell factories for high-yield secondary metabolite production.
