His topic of research is Differential activation and integration of Immune system. He aims to work for society and believes that scientific innovations are the best way to do so. He has the special distinction of being one of the youngest scientists.

Manish belongs from Village Hathidah in the capital District of Patna, Bihar, India. His Childhood days and Schooling started at the St. Pauls in a nearby town of Begusarai. Due to the transferable Job of his Father he had to change many schools and had to travel lot many districts in Bihar. He rejoined the St. Pauls in Standard Four and It still has a very vital role in shaping his career he said. He has many memories to cherish for the good days with the friends he made there. He still is in contact with most of them. He finally had to leave St. pauls again and then he landed up finishing his Tenth Boards from Maranchi High School where he had the experience of studing with hardship. I still remeber the days when I really worked hard in this Village School, `I never worked with as dedication as here before´ he says with a smile.The driving force were his other batchmates in the St. Pauls who where doing excellent and where ahead of me. His fascination towards the scientific career began when he learned Mitochondria in Detail for the first time in his High School Days here. He was deeply fascinated by Biology here. By GODs Grace as he calls he finished his boards with the Highest marks in the school and that made him happy enough. I was better in Maths, and Its always much scoring you see!! so all my teachers here would suggest me to persue Maths and I would have a debate each time with the importance of Biology, he says after a good smile. His father who himself is from a Mathematical Background wanted him to go ahead with Maths but he couldnt make him happy that time, though he is happier now. He says `My Mother is the real role model for me In life and I definately owe everything to her. She supported me and I returned back to Begusarai in the Br. DAV where I finished my 12th. As a teenager and my direct transfer from the village school atmosphere to the new one it was a bit aweful initially for him to adjust, But he managed it well. I was a bit shy in talking with girls initially but one of my classmate girl here had a great role in breaking up my Shyness with girls.Though I ended up fighting with her I have words of thanks for her,!! Our family had all Ups and Downs which makes the Graph of Good Vs bad time much more attractive and curvy. he says and laughs. He clarified the Biotechnology entrance examination and persued his bachelors in the same. He again had to sit for a scholarship examination for persuing his Masters through the DBT-JNU programme. He was successful at the first attempt and he got one of nine sits at the University of Calicut, Kerala. He did well and now came the real challenge for having a research grant for his scientific career. He came out with flying colours from there getting Grants from the prestigious CSIR,UGC and GATE. He got into the Indias Most prestigious Indian Institute of Science for earning his PhD. But, soon he left IISc realizing it was not what he wanted to do. He applied for the German Federal LGFG grant as an International Scientist in Germany and he finally got that.

He at present is working in his own area of interest with a young and dyanamic Group leader Dr.Med.Isabelle bekeredjian Ding at the Faculty of Medicine.
