About

Dr. V. P. Limna Mol is a Marine Biologist with over 14 years of experience in research and development activities in national and international organisations. She obtained her masters in Marine Biology in 2003 from Cochin University of Science & Technology, Kochi and further pursued her doctoral programme on “Natural Product Antifoulants from Sponges & Octocorals of Indian Waters” at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Regional Centre, Kochi under the guidance of Dr. T. V. Raveendran and Dr. P. S. Parameswaran. Her major focal areas include biofouling and antifouling studies and live culture of marine plankton and bioassay-mediated analyses. After successfully defending her doctoral thesis in August 2010, she continued her research on synthesis and extended bioactivity of Calamenene molecules in the capacity of CSIR-Research Associate at NIO, Kochi. Thereafter, she took up the position of Project Scientist at NIOT, Chennai and focussed on ballast water management, marine environmental impact assessment, marine siderophores and development of advanced methods for biofouling control. After six years (2012 to 2018) of tenure at NIOT, she joined the United Nations Development Programme as the National Project Officer for Biodiversity at Delhi. Dr. Limna has published her research findings in national and international journals of repute and is also a reviewer for various international journals. Her current research focus includes marine ecological studies and biotechnological interventions towards conservation of the marine environment and sustainable utilisation of marine resources.
