Adhimoolam Karthikeyan

About

Karthik has been working in legumes and cereals for the last 10 years, from plant breeding to gene cloning. He is using genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics to discover and characterize the major genes involved in the expression of important agronomic traits. His other research interest is applying plant-derived natural products to improve human and animal health and control insect pests.
