Personal
Born on 26 June 1967 at Thuckalay, Kanya Kumari district of Tamil Nadu in India . I completed my B.Sc and M.Sc in Physics at Christian College, Marthandam. I received my Ph.D at Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirapalli , India under the guidance of Professor P.K. Ponnuswamy. I continued my research at International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Trieste , Italy as a Post Doctoral Fellow under the supervision of Professor Sandor Pongor. I moved to RIKEN in July, 1997 and worked with Professor Akinori Sarai at the BioInfo Bank, RIKEN, Japan. At present I am working as a Senore Research Scientist at Molecular Function Team of Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan.
I have one brother and two sisters. They are all married and my brother's family live with my parents at my home town. I love them very much and visit them once a year (atleast).
I got married on 6 October 1999 with A. Mary Thangakani . My wife is a Post Graduate in Computer Applications (MCA). We have Three kids.
I am a born again Christian and interested in attending spiritual meetings. If you are interested please call at 043-275-9465 or mail to michael-gromiha@aist.go.jp
