9. A. Details of professional training and research experience, specifying period
The PI obtained Doctoral and Post-Doctoral training in Prof. Reddy’s Lab, Department of Zoology, S.V. University, Tirupati, India and CIIMAR, University of Porto, Portugal. He joined as a Ph.D Scholar (2006) under the guidance of Prof. P. Sreenivasula Reddy who is well recognized and one of the finest scientists in the areas of Aquaculture Biotechnology, Mammalian Molecular Endocrinology and Toxicology. S.B. Sainath obtained Doctoral degree (2010) from Department of Biotechnology, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, AP, India. He obtained Post-Doctoral training in Prof. Reddy’s lab (Feb’ 2010- July 2012), S.V. University, Tirupati and CIIMAR, University of Porto, Portugal. In Prof. Reddy’s lab, he worked in two challenging areas like Crustacean Endocrinology and Mammalian Reproductive Toxicology where he got an opportunity to understand the aminergic regulation of ovarian maturation in crustaceans and toxic effects of endocrine disruptors on mammalian reproduction in rodents as animal models, respectively. In CIIMAR, he worked on modulation of nuclear receptor signaling pathways by endocrine disrupting chemicals: invertebrate insights.
