Projects
Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation of medicinally important endogenous Chinese plants(Institute of Cell Biology, School of Life Sciences, Lanzhou University, PR China)
The main objective of this postdoctoral study was to develop transformation protocol and establish hairy root cultures of these medicinal plants using A. rhizogenes and confirm the transformation event by standard molecular biology techniques. by (Chinese Postdoctoral research Foundation Fund No-505-415-104 (Chinese Academy of Sciences))

Studies on Agrobacterium mediated transformation of medicinally important herb Sophorea flavesens...(Institute of Cell Biology, School of Life Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou PR China)
Under this project we have attempted to regenerate hairy root regenerants and study the morphological variations as rol locus of Ri –plasmid is suppose to be responsible for morphological alteration in plant system. by (Chinese Postdoctoral research Foundation Fund No-224-415-203)

Short Description
I am currently working as Professor & Dy Dean (Academics) at AMITY University Lucknow Campus. Earlier I served AMITY Institute of Biotechnology as Dy Director & Head , since 2009- 2014. Earlier I joined AMITY Lucknow Campus in year 2006 as Senior Lecturere. I have over 20 years of teaching and research experience in field of hardcore Biotechnology. I acquired Ph.D from CIMAP, Lucknow and was involved in research program of horticulture crops at CISH, ICAR. I worked with Chinese Academic of Sciences for Post- doctoral program on plant transgenics development, especially on recalcitrant Chinese medicinal plants. I was selected by Volcani Center, Israel for MASHAV International Young Scientist program in year 2006. I am instrumental in developing academic curriculum of Biotechnology and shaping up well equipped Biotechnology Laboratories at AMITY Institute of Biotechnology, Lucknow. Presently, I have been discharging the responsibility of Dy Dean (Academics) and actively involved
