Research interest and current research work
I have been working in the field of algal physiology and its biotechnological applications for the past 12 years. Recently, I have focused on understanding the intricate mechanisms of how the cells maintain the chloroplast and its essential function, photosynthesis, during the stress conditions like high light and how the active component of autophagy recycles the damaged chloroplast.
