Research Interests

Assessment of genome diversity and evolutionary relationship of livestock species, cattle in particular. Evaluation of positive traits like milk quality, adaptation, and disease resistance of native livestock breeds for their value addition and thereby enhance...

Biography

Over 26 years of experience as research scientist in the area of Animal Biotechnology. Completed several projects funded by Department of Biotechnology, National Fund, Department of Science and Technology and ICAR-NBAGR in the areas of molecular genetics and functional genomics. I have more than 100 research papers published in high-impact international as well national journals. I have contributed to book entitled “Lesser-known Sheep and Goat genetic resources of India”, written several book chapters (20), and published more than 10 monographs on cattle breeds based on phenotypic and molecular characterization.

Education
