Debee Prasad Sahoo
Assistant Professor
Dr. Debee Prasad Sahoo received his PhD degree in Life Science from Assam University Silchar. He carried out his PhD research work at Dept. of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Guwahati. After obtaining PhD, he was awarded with National Postdoctoral Fellowship (NPDF) by Science and Engineering Research Board, Govt. of India to carry out research work at Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar. Later, he moved to Mexico to work at Instituto de Biotecnologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico as a Postdoctoral Researcher. His main research interest lies on plant molecular biology focused on the study of genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic regulatory networks involved in plant development and stress responses with applied approaches in crop science aiming to accelerate crop improvement for better yield and stress tolerance. Apart from research, he is involved in teaching MSc and B.Tech-M.Tech Biotechnology students.
