FACULTY

Dr. Pratigya Subba obtained her Ph.D. degree from the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), New Delhi, India. She continued her research career at NIPGR as a Research Associate, during which she investigated the role of protein phosphorylation under water-deficit condition in a food legume, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). She has been a recipient of ‘Post-doctoral Fellowship for Women’ from the University Grants Commission, Government of India. At Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), she makes use of tandem mass spectrometry-based quantitative (phospho)proteomic approaches to identify altered proteins and signaling pathways in response to various abiotic stresses using the model plant Arabidopsis thalina. Another key area of her research is in dissecting the molecular mechanisms governing flower and seed development. Currently, she is carrying out her post-doctoral research at the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.
