Dew Kumari Sharma

About

My name is Dew Kumari Sharma. I was born in a small village in a Himalayan state of India called 'Sikkim', which is currently the world's first organic state. After my PhD, I worked as a researcher within the field of plant phenomics and quantitative genetics to study plants' responses to abiotic stresses, particularly, heat stress in common bread wheat. Currently utilising both classical genetics and cutting-edge breeding technologies, I am into commercial breeding of Spinach for global market.
