Hello/namstey everyone Pankaj here I am happy to introduce myself.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. student at the Polish Academy of Sciences Institute plant Genetics, Poznan, Poland, in the department of legume genetics, I was born in India, In a family of Indian farmers, finished my bachelor in biotechnology from magadh university India, and my master in plant biotechnology in Banaras Hindu University, India one of the large university in India. After that, I joined the national agri-food biotechnology institute as a project fellow, a team that first-ever worked with CRISPR cas implant in India, our research established that a genome-editing tool CRISPR case can play a lead role to improve vitamin A in Indian bananas, and using metabolic engineering in a plant using CRISPR cas can play a lead role to improve nutritional quality in food and complete demand of nutrition for human food and animal feed.
I currently investigate the role of WRKY, and another gene in response to pathogens that attacks pea. Including trying to decrease the antinutritional compound from food crops using CRISPR cas. Recently we got a bilateral research project called into-polish research grant, to investigate and explore this possibility. In legume crop.
Let’s look and share together and we can discuss on Twitter:- @pankajprabhu1
