About

Academic Position: Assistant Research Professor (DBT-COE),Dep of Botany, Calcutta University
Teaching Interest
Teaching courses entitled “Plant Genetics and Plant Breeding (Gen C41)” to the postgraduate students under Masters Program in Genetics, University of Calcutta. I taught chromosome engineering as related to fundamental problems in plant genetics and as applied to plant breeding. I also taught Biochemistry of Photosynthesis with special reference to molecular engineering of C4 enzymes in C3 plants.
