Kashmir Singh
Dr. Kashmir Singh is a Professor in the department of biotechnology, Panjab University, Chandigarh. With a focus on Plant biotechnology, his research interests span, metabolic engineering of secondary metabolites and biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in plants.
Early in his career, he received the Marie Curie Fellowship from European commission on biotechnology. Later, he received International Research Associateship at Missouri state University, USA. He was also a visiting scientist of McGill University, Montreal Canada, where he worked in the area of stress tolerance in cereal crops. Recently he was awarded INSA bilateral exchange fellowship to Poland. His major contribution in research work was understanding the molecular aspects of secondary metabolism in medicinal plants such as chlorophytum borivilianum, Phyllanthus emblica, Saussaurea lappa etc. He is also studying fungal resistance in grapes by identifying molecular markers, genes and non-coding RNAs associated with biotic stress tolerance.
He has guided 21 Ph.D. and 25 M.Sc. students and has over 90 publications. He is member of board of studies, research degree committees, reviewer of international journals and member of grant review committee of USA-Israel BARD grants. He has represented the Institute in international conferences and visited several countries including Poland, USA and Canada.
