About
I am a researcher specializing in plant molecular biology and genetics, primarily focusing on plant immunity and biotic stress resistance. I earned my Ph.D. from the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) in New Delhi, where I focused on genomics-assisted QTL mapping and the molecular dissection of biotic stress responses in chickpea. Currently, as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Davis, my research centers on the genetic and molecular interactions between the generalist phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea and its diverse eudicot hosts. I am conducting phenotyping and co-transcriptome analysis to uncover conserved and lineage-specific defense mechanisms in core eudicots.
