Shikha Verma

About

I have 5+ more years of experience in R & D in Plant molecular biology, Plant Tissue Culture and Transformation with hands-on experience in integrating transcriptomics, metabolomics, and molecular biology tools to uncover regulatory pathways underlying plant stress resilience. I have led multi-step research projects involving, experimental design, plant phenotyping, molecular assays, and computational analysis using R and Linux. My work spans abiotic stress responses, plant–plant interaction mediated stress, systems biology, and data-driven trait discovery. I enjoy translating complex biological datasets into clear, actionable insights that support decision-making in R & D environments. I collaborate effectively across diverse teams, communicate technical results clearly, and focus on solving practical biological problems with measurable impact.
