Mandeep is a researcher with PhD in Plant Biotechnoloy from Panjab University. Her major research interest lies in the area of plant molecular and functional genetics. She aims to unfold important mechanisms regulating mineral homeostasis in plants using a range of cutting-edge molecular and biochemical techniques. She also has an experience in plant tissue culture and metabolic engineering of biochemical pathways for nutritional improvement of crop plants. Mandeep is excited to undertake research combining transcriptomics and proteomics to unravel the molecular mechanisms by which plants sense and respond to changes in the concentration of essential metals such as iron (Fe) and (Zn).
