Vishesh Kumar
Senior Research Fellow · Jamia Hamdard
Biography
Completed master’s in 2012 on “Isolation and Characterisation of different alleles responsible for shape and size of Brinjal fruits in different varieties.” The project emphasized sequencing the genomic content of fruits of numerous eggplant varieties on different development levels, to compare their mutations and characterise different alleles for them using the Automated Next- Generation Sequencing method. Joined PhD in 2014 at the Department of Biotechnology, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi with Professor M.Z. Abdin, and perform the research work at the ICAR-National Institute for Plant Biotechnology, New Delhi with Dr Amolkumar U. Solanke under the title, “Functional Validation of Magnaporthe Oryzae responsive genes for blast resistance in rice” with Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship. Later joined “CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing of multiple negative regulators for blast resistance in rice” a DST-SERB project from 18/11/2019 to 07/06/2021.
