Dr. Pankaj Losan Sharma

Ph.D.

Research Interest

My research area is to develop different strategies to control bacterial wilt disease caused by ralstonia solanacearum, the second most dangerous bacterial plant pathogen. The bacterium cause disease in more than 450 different plant species including economically important crops like tomato, potato, brinjal, chilli, etc. I have interest to study plant-bacterial interaction and the role of residential microbes in plant health. My new interest is to control bacterial wilt disease using bacteriophage. I am very interested to study bacterial genomics using bioinformatics tool.
