Professional & Academic Background:

  • Staff Scientist IV (July 2020- present): National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi.
  • Staff Scientist III (April 2017- June 2020): National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi.
  • Ramalingwaswami Fellow (June 2015-March 2017): University of Calcutta, Department of Biotechnology.
  • Research Scientist (2015): The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, USA.
    Post-Doctoral Fellow (2010-2014): The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, USA.
  • Ph.D (2004-2009): University of Calcutta, Department of Biochemistry.
  • M.Sc. (2001-2003): in Biochemistry from University of Calcutta, Department of Biochemistry.

Research Areas:

  • Legume rhizobium symbiosis
  • Beneficial Plant Microbe Interaction

Current N-related Projects:

  • How does the host plant guide the bacteria from the free-living lifestyle to an endocytic lifestyle?
  • How does the host plant represses the defense response to accommodate the symbiont?
  • What are the genetic differences that causes the difference in nitrogen- fixation efficiency between legumes?
