Profile
Profile/About Me
I did my PhD in Plant Biotechnology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, then I was a postdoc in Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics for 2 years, then I joined University of Arizona as a Postdoctoral researcher for 3 years and currently I am a Postdoctoral researcher in Clemson University.
Research Interests
My area of expertise is plant stress physiology, with a focus on understanding how plants perceive, respond, and adapt to environmental challenges at molecular, cellular, and physiological levels. My research integrates transcriptomics, gene regulation, and functional genomics approaches to investigate how plants respond to abiotic stresses such as waterlogging, drought, and heat, as well as biotic stresses including pathogen attack. I am particularly interested in regulatory networks involving transcription factors, signaling pathways, and metabolic reprogramming that influence plant growth, development, and resilience under stress conditions. Currently I am applying high-resolution technologies, including single-cell/nucleus and spatial/stereo transcriptomics, to uncover how stress responses are coordinated across tissues and cell types.
Research Group (Lab)
I am working in Dr. Shahid Mukhtar's Lab.
