Dr. Anandita Singh
-Professor, Department of Biotechnology
Dr. Anandita along with her international team of research scholars explores molecular basis of the developmental traits in crop Brassicas with an aim to generate climate resilient crops. Her research group strives to understand the evolutionary impact of whole genome duplication in development of key adaptive traits that hold agronomical value. Exploiting natural genetic variation for trait manipulation is another focus area of her research. She has been the recipient of fellowship by Max Planck society, Germany, for her post-doctoral research. She also designed the M.Sc. Plant Biotechnology course curriculum at TERI-School of Advanced Studies ( ). Apart from being a remarkable scientist with publications in peer-reviewed international journals, Dr. Anandita has won several competitive extra-mural research grants from DBT (Department of Biotechnology , Government of India) and DST (Department of Science and Technology, Government of India). With a never-ending list of other achievements, she has efficiently and selflessly rendered her services in academia as she holds a deep love for teaching and knowledge dissemination.
In her 15 years of teaching experience at TERI SAS, she has taught generations of students the concepts of molecular markers and breeding, genomics and molecular genetics, genetic engineering and recombinant DNA techniques and their applications in agricultural sector. With her zestful attitude towards research and teaching she ensures that the students are aware of the future prospects of the course, bear a high moral character and are able to stand out from the crowd wherever they go.
