Dr. Mohana Krishna Reddy Mudiam is currently working at the Institute of Pesticide Formulation Technology (IPFT), Gurugram, India, having expertise in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry with specialization in Metabolomics, Food Safety, Forensic Science, Environmental Toxicology, Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceuticals characterization. Dr. Mudiam completed his master’s in Chemistry from NIT, Warangal in 1999. He earned his Ph.D. in Plant Metabolomics from Central Forensic Science Laboratory (Osmania University), Hyderabad, in 2005 and joined as Scientist at CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow. He received a BOYSCAST fellowship to pursue his postdoctoral work at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore/USA in 2007.

He has 24 years of research experience in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry with applications in Agrochemicals, Environmental, Health, Food, Pharmaceutical, and Forensic Sciences. His group research interests mainly focus on understanding the occurrence/fate, transport, and accumulation of chemicals in Food, Environment, and Biological samples using the latest analytical and metabolomics approaches. His group efforts yielded several miniaturized analytical methods for analyzing toxicants/contaminants in various food, biological, and environmental matrices. He successfully established metabolomics in India as a comprehensive screening tool to understand/evaluate the (i) toxicity of xenobiotics in various model organisms, (ii) effect of ripening agents on the fruit metabolome, and (iii) metabolic profiles in plants through Phytometabolomics. He is instrumental in establishing a GLP-compliant analytical facility for biologics and biosimilars characterization at CSIR-IICT, Hyderabad. He also worked in the capacity of Deputy Quality Manager of NABL accredited analytical facility, Faculty of AcSIR, NABL Lead and Technical Assessor, and Member of Two Scientific Panels at FSSAI.

He guided 18 Ph.Ds. so far. He authored more than 120 publications in peer-reviewed international journals with more than 4400 citations (h index of 40). He is instrumental in conducting several analytical skill development programs and seminars at National and International levels. He is the recipient of the ISMAS Eminent Mass Spectrometrist Award, the BRSI Industrial Medal Award, the CSIR Technology Award for Innovation for his work on COVAXIN, a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Fellow of Andhra Pradesh Academy of Sciences (FAPAS), Fellow of Telangana Academy of Sciences (FTAS), Dr AK Singh Memorial Young Scientist Award, ABAP Young and Senior Scientist Awards and several other appreciations. He visited countries like the USA, Germany, France, Australia, China, and Taiwan as part of his scientific collaborations and/or assignments.
