Sreenath Subrahmanyam

Sreenath Subrahmanyam is a biologist and the director for the Institute of Bioecosciences, Virginia, United States of America.

Education
Sreenath received his bachelor's degree in biological sciences from Loyola College, Madras, and a PhD diploma in biological sciences from Cranfield University, UK. Sreenath is a Beahrs Fellow on the Natural Resources Management Program, University of California, Berkeley.

Research
Sreenath worked on Environmental impacts of the proposed lignite mine at Jayankondam. At Cranfield University, Sreenath developed a new approach for the computational design of molecular imprinting, which is followed by research groups around the world. Sreenath proposed that natural receptors can be used in bio-recognition, an idea which many researchers have successfully used in Biology. Sreenath works on climate change adaptation strategies in Western Ghats, India computationally modelling tracheophytes and forest ecosystems. Sreenath is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, and Chemistry.

Training programs on ecology and conservation biology
Sreenath continues to direct a number of training programs such as the Young Advantage Program, Environmental Leadership Program, and the Faculty Enrichment Program.
