Author
Dr. Peter did his Ph.D. in Human Cytogenetics from University of Bombay in the year 1978, at present known as National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health (NIRRH), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Mumbai.
His initial training was in Human Cytogenetics, at present, he has more than 40 years of experience in the field of cell culture techniques, with a vast knowledge in tissue culture-growing lymphocytes, amniotic cell cultures, organ culture techniques. He is well experienced in making tissue culture media and handling long term fibroblast cultures, which made it possible for him to publish several papers in International journals in Human Genetics on congenital malformation and infertility. He has also presented papers at both National and International Conferences. He has conducted several training programs in Human cytogenetics and guide many students for MSc and PhD degree. He has taught for more than ten years in both Bombay and Bangalore University.
