Biography

My research journey is marked by a profound interest in deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying plant stress tolerance. The focus extends to the interplay between plants and PGPR, exploring how these interactions can enhance resilience to abiotic stresses. One of my notable achievements lies in elucidating these mechanisms by employing cutting-edge techniques such as transcriptomics and comprehensive profiling of non-coding RNAs, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) and microRNAs (miRNA), particularly under stressful conditions. Currently, I am engaged in metagenomic research aimed at comprehending the microbial presence within environmental samples. With a commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge, I aim to actively contribute to the scientific community's collective understanding of environmental microbiology, plant biology, stress response and symbiotic relationships.
