Sathyabhama Das Biju
Biju is the head of Systematics Lab. Frogs fascinate Biju. This fascination which started about 25 years back, has only increased with time. Biju's first profession was plant taxonomy. Following his pioneering fieldwork in the Western Ghats, he worked in the Amphibian Evolution Lab, Brussels for his PhD on Indian frogs. Biju is now in University of Delhi and leads a team of young and dynamic researchers. The Systematics Lab, that he initiated and developed, is fully equipped for amphibian research. Biju’s research interests include fieldwork, taxonomy, molecular and morphological systematics, bioacoustics and reproductive biology.
