Dr. Khirod K. Sahoo is Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany since 2014. He has 10 years of research experience. He has more than 15 publications in peer reviewed International journals and 01 national patent to his credit. He did his doctoral research on developing the salinity and drought tolerant transgenic rice through pyramiding genes in 2010 at International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi and in collaboration with School of Life Sciences, JNU, New Delhi. He further did his postdoctoral research for more than 2 years at ICGEB, New Delhi on transgenic rice and on RNAi Technology. After that, he served as Senior Technical Officer in Biotechnology Division at CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT), Govt. of India, Palampur. Currently, he has research collaboration with ICAR-National Rice Research Institute (NRRI), Cuttack and Imgenex India, Pvt. Ltd., Bhubaneswar. Currently his research is focused on crop improvements through plant genetic engineering, plant proteomics and metabolomic study. His research aims to make plants economically viable through tissue culture and hydroponic methods.
