Dr. Soren completed his Ph. D in 2010, since then he is actively involved in addressing on secretion dynamics of enzyme from fungi at Applied Biochemistry/ Drug Development/Diagnostics and Biotechnology Division, CSIR- Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata, India. He joined the Department of Zoology, Ravenshaw University as as Assistant Professor in the year 2010.

His research group is currently working on purification and characterization of different industrial enzymes from microbial sources. The antibiotics resistance in microbe and their evolution is another area of his challenges. Currently his laboratory is working on microbial association and their pathogenesis leading to neoplasia in humans.
