Scientist

  • Dr.Vandana Rai

    Her interest lies in find out the genes responsible for salinity tolerance using transcriptomics, proteomics & metabolomics high throughput technologies.Received Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science & Technology award from USDA.

  • Dr. Kishor Gaikwad

    My research revolves around genome sequencing, gene mapping and functional genomics in crops of national importance.we are also focusing on abiotic stress particularly on salinity and thermotolerance in rice, pigeonpea etc.

  • Dr. Amitha C. R. Mithra

    My broad area of work is Genomics and Molecular Markers. SNP is the marker of choice in our laboratory.I do work on pigeonpea, wheat, rose and other species Rice EMS mutant population which we use for forward as well as reverse genetics.

Instrument Information



  • Ion Torrent System

    Ion Torrent™ sequencing technology is simpler, faster, and more cost-effective and scalable than other benchtop next-generation sequencing technologies.

  • Genetitan System

    GeneTitan® Multi-Channel (MC) Instrument and Affymetrix' proven array plates in 96- and 384-array layouts are the first to provide a hands-free, automated solution for monitoring gene expression and genome-wide SNP genotyping.

  • IlluminaBeadXpress System

    The BeadXpress platform primarily uses the Golden Gate SNP genotyping assay.

  • 3500XL Sequencer System

    A new standard in capillary electrophoresis with the 8-capillary 3500 and 24-capillary 3500xL Genetic Analyzers.

  • Massarray nanodispencer System

    The Sequenom System offers matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for high accuracy and sensitivity, robust chemistry for reproducible results, and advanced data analysis software to meet the needs of any genomic laboratory.
