Chetan has been working in the field of algal physiology and its biotechnological applications for the past 12 years. Recently, he has focused on understanding the intricate mechanisms of how the algal cells, specifically the microalga Haematococcus  pluvialis, maintain the chloroplast and its essential function, photosynthesis, during the stress conditions like high light, and how the active component of autophagy recycles the damaged chloroplast.
