Miss Usha K Sabharwal

Biography :

Miss Usha K. Sabharwal studied B.Sc (H) Biomedical Sciences from the University of Delhi and she completed her M.Sc in Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the University of Delhi South Campus. She has joined the Lab of Prof. R.B. Subramanian from the P.G. Department of Biosciences, Sardar Patel University to pursue her Ph.D degree in Biotechnology in 2018 to work in the field of molecular biology to understand the complex system and an advantageous approach made to understand systemic acquired resistance in plants. Using bacteria and elicitors to yield information about basic biological processes in plants. From the very beginning, her education has been strongly associated with pathogens and with particular emphasis on molecular biology, especially gene regulation. She has a deep interest in the structures of biological molecules as well as their interactions and how these interactions explain observations of classical biology. As a Ph.D. student, she is working on the role of pipecolic acid in plant pathogen interaction.
