Anil Kumar is a Ph.D. and working as Staff Scientist at Gene Regulation Laboratory, National Institute of Immunology, Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, New Delhi, India. His current research activities are focused on the study of gut microbiome, cancer biology and how the result of this investigation may be helpful to devise strategies to promote human health and prevent diseases such as cancer? Research activities in his lab also aim at identifying more gut flora and their metabolites and understanding the interactions of these metabolites within gut bacteria and with the host. As an inventor, he has been credited with more than 50 patents (granted).
