I was awarded the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Program) scholarship for four years (2011-2015) for PhD, which allowed me to pursue a project on climate change response of corals from a molecular perspective. Earlier, I completed BSc in Zoology (2006) and MSc in Biochemistry (2008) from North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon. Before moving to Germany for my PhD, I&nbsp; worked as Project Assistant at National Centre for Cell Science, Pune on amphibian DNA barcoding as well as molecular microbial ecology. Subsequently, I worked as a Junior Research Fellow (2010-2011) and later as Scientist C (2019-2021) with Bombay Natural History Society, Mumbai on Molecular Systematics of corals and molluscs. I was also awarded the National Postdoctoral Fellowship (NPDF) by DST-SERB for two years during which I was able to reveal novel unrecognized genotypes of corals in the Gulf of Kutch (GoK), India. Moreover, I was able to identify correlation between photosymbiont &amp; bacterial diversity, health status, and adaptive potential of corals of Lakshadweep and GoK. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher on National Science Foundation\u2019s EPSCoR project where I am focusing at understanding molecular ecology of reef-building corals and their microbiomes using conventional methods as well as cutting-edge genomics and transcriptomic techniques in an effort to understand climate change impact and response&nbsp; to aid the conservation efforts. I would like to continue exploring coral systematics and biodiversity along with their eco-evolutionary response to changing future oceans from a molecular genetic perspective.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6624193 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6624193\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Publications<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b76610 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b76610\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>De la Vega P, <b>Shimpi GG<\/b>, Bentlage B.
