Biography
"After completing his Master degree in Botany from the Maharani Shri Jaya College, Bharatpur, in 2004, Dr. CP Singh (born 1984) opted for a career in research, he joined Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Lucknow, in September 2007, but later (March 2008) moved to Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD), Hyderabad. During his Ph.D. training he worked on host-pathogen interaction using Bombyx mori and its pathogen Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) as models. Most of his research centered on viral-encoded microRNAs identification and characterizing their role in virus infection. Dr. CP obtained his Ph.D. in January 2014 from the CDFD, Hyderabad. In December 2013, he joined University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, as Assistant Professor, in the Department of Botany. His current research interests involves, role of small RNAs in combating abiotic stress in plants and in insect immunity. "
Research Interest
