"Deepak joined my lab to establish the Baculovirus system for high-level protein expression in its native folded bioactive proteins. Sehgal always had an applied mind, and his system proved extremely useful for producing large quantities of biologically active proteins and high commercial prospects in India.”
Dr. G Padmanaban
Prof & Former Director, IISC
“Prof Deepak Sehgal has expertise in protein expression systems. For example, he has expressed many proteins from HEV and SARS CoV2 using the Baculovirus Expression System. His expertise would be valuable for commercial protein expression”.
Dr. Shahid Jameel
Former CEO, DBT/Wellcome India Alliance, Former Group Leader, ICGEB
​​“I have known Dr Deepak Sehgal for over 30 years as a valued colleague who is highly skilled with baculovirus-mediated gene expression. He successfully set up this technology at ICGEB and SNU and honed his skills by working in the biotech industry for several years. Dr Sehgal brings decades of experience from academia and industry and can be a valuable partner for both”​

​“It is nice to know that my former lab colleague, Dr Deepak Sehgal, is starting a consultancy in baculovirus gene expression systems. The baculovirus system is gaining still more visibility for correcting human genetic disorders. I remember his very productive time in my group at the National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi, working on expressing foreign genes using this system and training others to do the same.”
Dr. Sudhir K Sopory
Professor Emeritus Senior Scientist International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology ( ICGEB) New Delhi, Former Vice Chancellor JNU
“I have known Deepak since the time he was working in the virology group at ICGEB, New Delhi where I was the group leader of Plant Molecular Biology.I can confidently say that he has excellent expertise in the protein expression systems, especially the Baculovirus expression system through which he expressed many proteins We also received help from him to express some plant proteins. Wish Dr Sehgal all success”​​
