POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS

Dr. Mohammad Arefian

Postdoctoral Fellow
  • Arefian.m@gmail.com , Arefian@yenepoya.edu.in

Profile

I obtained my Ph.D. from Plant Biotechnology and Breeding Department, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran in 2018; wherein I evaluated the effect of salinity stress on chickpea at physiological, gene expression and proteome levels. Currently, my post-doctoral research is mostly focused on salt-response mechanisms in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants using Data-independent acquisition methods.
