Awards and Achievements: National: Fellow of International Society of Environmental Botanists, 2018 Awarded NASI membership, 2018 Awarded DST-fast track Young Scientist-2002 Awarded Research Associate (with higher slab) from CSIR, New Delhi, India, 1997 Awarded JRF and SRF from CSIR, New Delhi, India, 1992 & 1994 International: Awarded Guest Research Fellowship at University of Wuerzburg, Germany, 2002 Research Area: Ecotoxicogenomics / Plant Molecular Biology Research Interest: Understanding metal transport and its regulation through physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms. Heavy metal toxicity is harmful for any form of life. Plants develop different mechanisms to cope up with different metal toxicity throughout their life span. Arsenic is classified as a metalloid having properties of both metals and non-metals, and can undergo a wide range of chemical interactions. Bioavailability, uptake and phyto-toxicity of As to plants are influenced by various factors such as As concentration in soil/water, As species, plants species and soil/.water properties. As- contaminated ground water irrigation is one of the major factors that affect all organisms live in term of health and food safety. In India, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, the flood plain of Ganga, Brahamaputra and Imphal rivers, and Rajnandgaon village in Chhattisgarh are reported to have very high amount of As. Despite a lot of studies related to arsenic toxicity and tolerance strategies in different plants, mainly rice, our knowledge about the response of various plant genotypes still lacking. We are dealing with the following topics: 1. Interaction of arsenic with other metals, having similar chemical properties, and share same transport system, mainly in rice and mustard plant 2. Role of molecular markers in rice and mustard plant under arsenic stress 3. Cellular/molecular mechanisms involved in arsenic toxicity and tolerance 4. How auxin redistribution and nitrogen signalling pathways regulates root architecture under arsenic stress, and in combination with other metals. 5. Role of ROS and other hormones in plant under arsenic mediated stress 6. Role of miRNA in plant under arsenic stress 7. Study of genes related to arsenic accumulation and transport system Projects Completed/Ongoing as PI from JMI only: Three 1.

This has translated into major strides in Biotechnology, with far-reaching impact on diverse areas such as health-care, diagnostics, agriculture, food, environment and consumer products. These biotechnical innovations are meaningless until and unless their benefits percolate down to the common man. This can happen only if such technologies are taken up for industrial scale production. The Department offers a unique blend of expertise in applied biological sciences, chemical engineering and biochemical engineering. It strives for application of this expertise to evolve various biotechnological products and processes. It is envisaged that such a vision can be achieved through: Generation of highly trained human resource capable of quantitative analysis of biological systems to facilitate their role in manning modern bioprocess industries and provide an integrated approach to research and development in biotechnology.
