Dr Sandeep Kushwaha started his research career as a doctoral student at the Department of Bioinformatics, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal. During his stay at Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, he worked on more than ten major scientific projects in plant and soil science, elucidating molecular and genetic mechanisms and plant interaction using omics data and bioinformatics tools and techniques. He works as Scientist-E at the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology, Hyderabad, India. He has completed various research projects, published research articles in the public domain, and taught various higher education courses in India as well as abroad.
Summary
Genomics based approached can be used for disease diagnosis, disease outbreak, evolution of plant and pathogen genome for disease outbreak in relation to climate change, and be helpful in development of long-term strategies for plant health and defence.
