As an acknowledgment and recognition to the efforts, she received SERB International travel support in Jul 2017 to present work in Indonesia. Received Best Poster Presentation Award-2016 on “Metabolomic and proteomic analysis of the interaction between plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and Arachis hypogaea L.” at 8th Plant Science Colloquium-2016 organized by University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad. She has been awarded national CSIR- Senior Research Fellowship in 2014 and Indira Gandi National Fellowship in 2009. She was awarded lectureship under Andhra Pradesh-State Eligibility Test in 2012 and Biotechnology Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering in 2011. She was expertise with
Isolation, identification, characterization, maintenance, and preservation of microbes from different sources. Molecular techniques like cloning and gene expression studies with real-time PCR. Protein purification, chromatography (TLC, gel filtration, affinity, HPLC) and electrophoresis techniques. Proteomics and metabolomics data analysis with 2D electrophoresis and GC/LC-mass spectrometer. Conversant with basic statistical tools and statistical analysis software.
Presently Dr. Sravani is working as an Assistant manager in Prathista Industries Limited. She is part of various activities like technical developments in R&D, scientific documentation of intellectual property rights of the company, supporting the exports and import departmental works, and being part with audits of the company for certifications.
