Biography:

Dr. Sumaira Farrakh is working as Associate Professor in Department of Biosciences. Her main area of interest is plant plant biotechnology/plant pathology and plant microbe interaction. She had an experience of working as visiting scientist in Molecular Biology Lab of Wageningen University, The Netherlands and as Fulbright post doctoral Scholar in Washington State University, USA.

I worked on interaction between plant and pathogen as well as identifications of R genes using different markers. I also work on the improving quality of wheat grains. Currently, my research group consist of supervising 2 PhD students and 5MS students.
