Biography
Born on 23rd August 1994 in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, India, I completed my early education at Govt. Senior Secondary School, Gharwasra (2000-2010) and Model Institute of Education, Devdhar, Tihra (2010-2012). I pursued a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Botany (Honours) from the University of Delhi (2012-2016). Following this, I earned a Master's degree from Maharishi Markandeshwar Deemed to be University (MMDU), Haryana (2016-2018), where I also enrolled for my doctoral studies. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at MMDU, with my thesis submitted (2020-2025). Additionally, I have been working as a Senior Project Fellow at the Indian Council of Agriculture Research- National Institute for Plant Biotechnology (ICAR-NIPB), New Delhi, since 2018.

Research Interests
To sustain crop productivity, protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stresses is crucial. Plants mitigate these stresses through the production of various chemicals, along with the expression of specific proteins, enzymes, and gene families.
My research focuses on gene profiling, including the regulation and expression of genes, to develop transgenic crops in susceptible species that can withstand varying climatic conditions. Additionally, to enhance biomass in mustard crops, CRISPR-Cas9 knockout were developed for generating transgenic lines through genetic engineering.
