He is, as of January 2018 an associate researcher at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India. Verma is best known for his contribution to the creation of “universal primer technology”, the first generation barcoding technique that allows the identification of any fish, bird, mammal, reptile or other animal by analyzing a small amount of biological material and meet the legal requirements for evidence in the legal court. This technology has revolutionized the field of wildlife forensics , and is currently used extensively throughout India to provide identification services for species in the case of wildlife crime. This method of identification of species is now referred to as “DNA barcoding” across the globe.

In the month of March, 2001, Verma as well as Lalji Singh claimed to have developed a method they referred to as “universal primer technology”, that allowed identification of any biological specimen and the identification to a known species source.

Verma received his D.Phil. in medical oncology from the University of Oxford, and has worked in the areas of signal transduction in cancer and on molecular biology applications in wildlife conservation. He is the recipient of several national awards, including the 2008 CSIR Technology Award, the 2009 NRDC Meritorious Invention Award and the 2009 BioAsia Innovation Award in recognition of his contribution to Indian science and technology.

Verma was a visiting fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology during 2010–2013. Starting in 2010, as of January 2015 he is a research ambassador for the DAAD to promote bidirectional research collaboration between India and Germany.

As of 2000 Verma became an expert researcher within the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology and in 2001, he along with Lalji Singh invented universal primer technology for identifying wildlife for which Verma later was awarded numerous international patents and numerous national awards, including the CSIR Technology Award in 2008 (jointly given on Verma as well as Lalji Singh), the 2009 NRDC Award (jointly conferred on Verma and Singh) and the BioAsia Innovation Award in 2009.

In 2003, Verma received a Lindau Fellowship to represent Indian scholars at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in physiology and medicine. During the same year, he also received a Commonwealth Scholarship to carry out his doctoral studies at the University of Oxford. Verma completed his D.Phil. in medical oncology at the University of Oxford in 2007, and in January 2008 returned to India to continue his work at the CCMB.
