Prof. Rakhi Chaturvedi

Prof. Rakhi Chaturvedi has established solid foundation, both theoretically and experimentally, in the area of Plant Tissue Culture (PTC) and Secondary Metabolite Production, Plant Biochemical Engineering and Plant Sciences. Her research group is involved in improving the commercial and medicinal value of existing plantations by implementing the PTC techniques in simplest to the complex plant systems ranging from herbs to trees. Her research work has been widely acclaimed in the academic circle. To her credit, she delivered several lectures including keynote speeches at several scientific forums. She has supervised and given hands-on training to Post-doctoral, Ph.D., M.Tech., B.Tech. and Summer intern students on various aspects of value addition to the plant bioresources using PTC techniques. Her research findings have been published in peer reviewed international journals of high impact factors. Her research group is working on various core aspects of plant tissue culture, plant secondary metabolite production and their scaling-up in bioreactors.
