Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Vinita Lamba's research investigates evolutionary mechanisms and genomic insights across diverse biological systems. Her work has focused on the origins of antifreeze proteins in fish, exploring how new genes emerge and protein sequences converge in unrelated lineages. Lamba has also studied the application of next-generation sequencing in bat research, including the analysis of endogenous retroviruses as "viral fossils" within bat genomes. Her recent publications include work on the genomic evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and metabolomic perspectives on plant stress tolerance. Lamba's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3 with 10 total publications and 33 citations.
