About

Working in the area of Plant functional genomics, molecular biology and plant biotechnology. My research interests are focused on developing climate-resilient crop plants using biotechnological interventions; and abiotic stress responses and stress signaling, especially in arid region plants of the Thar desert. Previously worked on "Molecular Pharming": recombinant protein production and purification from transgenic plants for therapeutic use.
