Biography

I did my PhD in Plant pathology from Aarhus university Denmark with the main objective of the management of wheat rust disease. My aim is to work for the benefit of the farmers. After joining NIAB as Junior Scientist (Plant Pathology), I am involved in the identification of the resistance sources against important fungal and Bacterial diseases. The overall mission is to develop crop varieties with durable and effective resistance against important fungal and bacterial diseases.
