I am Dr Pooja Sharma, and I have been working as an Assistant Professor at Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed to be) University-Mullana, Ambala (Haryana), India, since February 2017. I completed my doctorate in Plant Biotechnology in 2015. During my PhD, I have gained experience in the field of Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology. I have gained expertise in PCR, gene and promoter isolation, cloning, characterization using a transgenic approach, mutant analysis, and molecular markers from the prestigious research laboratory at ICAR-National Institute for Plant Biotechnology, New Delhi. Post PhD, I joined ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal (Haryana), in the wheat crop improvement division under the research project entitled “Genetic modification to improve the biological nitrogen fixation for augmenting nitrogen needs of cereals”. During my scientific journey, I have participated in scientific society via conferences, workshops, webinars, and other academic events. I have been invited as a speaker at various prestigious international as well as national platforms. I have been consistently contributing in the field of molecular biology, gene editing, and agricultural sustainability in the form of research articles, reviews, book chapters and abstracts.
