Bikash Raul (5th year Ph.D student)
I have done B.Sc. in botany from Ravenshaw University and M.Sc. in botany from Banaras Hindu University. In Ph.D. I am studying different aspects of root nodule symbiosis in Arachis (Peanut).

Akanksha Bhardwaj (4th Year Ph.D student)
I did Masters and Bachelors in Botany from Ramjas College, University of Delhi. Our lab focuses on root nodule symbiosis development. I am working on model legume Medicago to study transcriptional network involved in nodulation. Our team is a bunch of vibrant and enthusiastic people. We as a budding lab-group work together under the guidance of a more enthusiastic PI.

Ms. Farheen Saifi (Project associate)
I have spent five years of my PhD studying the symbiosis process in the model legume Medicago truncatula in in Hungary through the Stipendium Hunagricum Scholarship. During my PhD I have investigated the nodule specific cysteine-rich peptides (NCRs), Regulator of Symbiosome differentiation (RSD) and sulphate transporter genes. I have completed my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Botany with Honors from Hindu College, University of Delhi. Presently, I am working as a Project associate in the lab on "Characterization of chickpea germplasm resource to accelerate genomics-assisted crop improvement."
