Sridhar Rao P.N's biodata

MY BIODATA
After acquiring my post-graduate degree in medical microbiology from Kasturba Medical College (Manipal University) in 1996, I have been into teaching medical and dental students ever since. Although teaching is my passion and satisfying, it is professionally unrewarding. After more than a decade of service in teaching, I am now looking for a career change and look forward to something more challenging and professionally rewarding.
