Profile Summary

I am a Post Doctoral Fellow at National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi, India. I have a diverse background in Plant Molecular Biology, principally using a combination of molecular and classical genetic approaches. I have done my Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and masters in Biochemistry. I have more than six years of Post Doctoral experience in Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Proteomics. I got reputed DST SERB-National Post-Doctoral Fellowship (N-PDF) and Senior Research Associateship (SRA) under CSIR Scientist's Pool Scheme. My area of expertise is Nutrition and Developmental Biology, Stress Biology of Plants and Plant Proteomics. During my Ph.D. I worked on the nutritional enhancement in terms of protein. My Pre- and Post-Doctoral research includes proteomic characterization and cultivar specific diversity in nutrient accumulation in two different storage organs one is seed (rice) and another is tubers (sweetpotato and potato). Additionally, I am associated with a project on the study of heat stress tolerance in wheat. I have research articles in various reputed peer-reviewed science journals such as, “Food Chemistry", “PNAS”, "Environmental and experimental botany", “Journal of Proteomics”, “Proteomics”, “Springer nature”, and “Scientific Reports”. Besides these, I had also been engaged in the training of summer/graduate students and project staff. I have prepared manuscripts for publications, project proposals and generated projects, annual reports during my Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral research. I am an experienced scientific writer in the field of cell and Developmental Biology, Nutrition Biology, Stress Physiology, Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Proteomics. I can contribute to proposed and running research projects, including project design, experiment coordination, data analysis and manuscript preparation. In addition, I am part time writer and translator, and so far a book of my collection of short stories and a novel have been published.
