RESEARCH AREAS OF INTEREST
As a biology lover, I was fascinated by each, and every story related to life. But I am more enthusiastic specifically on the topic of photosynthesis. At present, I am working in the field of photosynthesis, especially how photosynthetic organisms cope with the changing climate and various pollutions by the omics approach
