Dr. Prabhjot Singla | Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | Best Researcher Award

Punjab Agricultural University | India

Dr. Prabhjot Singla, PhD, is a dedicated plant biochemist specializing in plant defense mechanisms, multi-omics analyses, and biochemical characterization of crops. She earned her Ph.D. from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India in 2020, focusing on stripe rust resistance genes in barley, following her M.Sc. in Biochemistry in 2015, where she investigated protein profiling in lupin genotypes. Dr. Singla has held positions as Guest Faculty at Panjab University and PCTE Group of Institutes, and as Junior and Senior Research Fellow at ICAR-CIPHET and Punjab Agricultural University, contributing to the DBT-BUILDER Interdisciplinary Life Sciences program. Her research expertise includes pest rearing, phenotypic assessment of cotton genotypes, development of disease resistance scales, biochemical enzyme assays, and transcriptome analysis of defense-related genes. She has authored numerous impactful publications, including Insight into the effect of girdling on morpho-physiological parameters of ‘YaLi’ pear, Nutritional, physicochemical, and sensorial characterisation of quinoa-millet enriched gluten-free functional cookies (Acta Alimentaria), and Metabolic adjustments during compatible interaction between barley genotypes and stripe rust pathogen (Plant Physiology and Biochemistry). According to Scopus, Dr. Prabhjot Singla has 14 documents, 113 citations, and an h-index of 7. Recognized with several fellowships and academic honors, she combines rigorous scientific expertise with extensive experience in plant biochemistry and crop improvement research, demonstrating significant contributions to her field.
