About Me |
|---|
I have a PhD in Agricultural Biotechnology from ICAR-National Rice Research Institute, India. After PhD, I received the prestigious Young Scientist Award from the Dept. of Science & Technology, Govt. of India to work as a Young Scientist at the Centre for Biotechnology, SOA University. The research involved development of molecular diagnostic markers for development of anthracnose resistance in chilli pepper. After three years of successful research, I received the prestigious Talented Young Scientist Fellowship under the TYSP programme of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of China. I joined as a research associate at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China, where I researched on Blast resistance in rice through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. I have more than 7 years of post doctoral research experience in the area of plant molecular biology, functional genomics and genetic engineering. |
