Sachin Teotia

Sachin Teotia's research focuses on the molecular biology of plants, particularly how small regulatory molecules called microRNAs control traits like grain size, root growth, and nutrient uptake in crops such as rice and maize. The work also extends to gene-editing technologies (like CRISPR/Cas9 and RNA interference) and genomic ('omics') approaches used to improve crop traits, resist pathogens, and understand plant stress responses. This research area would suit students interested in plant genetics, crop improvement, and biotechnology tools for agriculture.

Publication output has been relatively modest and fluctuating over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2017 followed by lower but fairly steady annual counts (averaging under 4 papers per year in the last 5 years).
