I am a Research Scientist-Plant Molecular Biology and an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, University of Erzurum Technical, Erzurum, Turkiye. I received MSc in Agriculture from the University of Ataturk, Erzurum, Turkiye. After completing PhD in Plant Molecular Biology at Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Hatay, Turkiye. I am currently investigating the effects of biotic and abiotic stress on plant growth, development and crop yield. My research is mainly focused on understanding the mechanisms of plant stresses at the physiological, biochemical and molecular levels. Also, my expertise includes transcriptomics, qRT-PCR, genetic modified organisms, miRNA, molecular marker techniques, and plant breeding.

I am serving Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan as Associate Professor since 2021. I have served Department of Agricultural Genetic Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Turkey for seven years while has also completed postdoctoral fellows at University of Ankara, Turkey and University of Bologna, Italy. I primary focus on utilizing both conventional and non-conventional approaches to develop climate-resilient cotton varieties.  My research interests span a wide spectrum, encompassing the breeding of climate-resilient cotton varieties, the engineering of biotic stress tolerance traits in economically significant crop plants, the development of dsRNA-based biopesticides for improved insect pest management, and the regulatory aspects of GM cotton. With over 120 peer-reviewed research articles published in international and national journals, I have also edited a book titled Potato Production Worldwide. Furthermore, I also serve as the editor of SCI-indexed journals such as PLOS ONE, Frontiers in Plant Sciences, Frontiers in Genetics, and the Journal of Cotton Research. I do acknowledges the significant impact of transgenic technology on agriculture and thus have also achieved notable success in this realm.
