Prachi Kangokar

A double master’s degree in Biotechnology and Plant Science, hand-on experience in Plant Tissue Culture (PTC) laboratory along with micropropagation of different fruit and vegetable crops based on genotyping and phenotyping. Along with crop protection and breeding techniques. Seeking opportunity to join a dynamic team of Plant scientists to play a vital role towards building sustainable future by improving crop varieties and production with molecular based technologies by adapting to future challenges.

• CRISPR/CA9 to achieve Sustainable agriculture by improving the cropvariety” for Crop Science and Sustainability module
• Dissertation project on creating “new cis-Golgi marker fusions showingco-localization
• Along with proficient in designing and developingplasmid DNA constructs/maps by integrating fluorescence protein toobserve the co-localization in remote parts of cell CLSM
• Submitted a scientific report on “red meat-derived glycan promotesinflammation and cancer progression” and scored merit
• Dissertation project in PTC lab led me to execute experiments on variouscallus growth culture from fruits like grapes, papaya, watermelon, apple,muskmelon, strawberry using micropropagation techniques
• Dissertation project in, “micropropagation of pomegranate, a rarevariety called "Bhagwa"
• From selecting plant at nursery to growing callus culture in LAF, usingautoclave for sterilization, prepared nutrient media, elements necessaryfor plant growth
• Suitable temperatures in aseptic conditionsmaintained for plant growth necessary for Greenhouses
• Lakhs ofplants grown from single explant in a year on small landmass to overcomefuture decrease in arable land for agriculture
