Profile of the Instructor

Prof. Sourav Datta

Prof. Sourav Datta (FNASc, FASc) is a plant biologist working in the Department of Biological Sciences, IISER Bhopal since 2013. He did his PhD from the Gothenburg University, Sweden followed by a postdoc at the University of Oxford, UK. His research area is plant environment interactions with a focus on plant photobiology and interactions between the soil and the root. His work illustrates the key role of BBX transcription factors in light-mediated plant development. His research also involves engineering MATE transporters to enhance low phosphate and aluminum toxicity tolerance. He has been regularly teaching Plant Biology at IISER Bhopal.

Feedbacks

Feedbacks from the previous batch participants:

  • This workshop covers drought resistance, heat tolerance, and sustainable agriculture, providing practical insights for researchers, farmers, and policymakers.
  • I would suggest they attend it as it was very precise and well organized.
  • Worth every penny of time, energy and effort invested. Whoa!
  • From years of research work merged into one capsule, this class was mind-blowing and captivating!!
  • It was a new learning experience with so many examples. Would recommend to every undergraduate botany and biotechnology student
  • I would explain to them that the goal of this workshop on Climate Resilient Plants for the Future is to learn how to create and use plants that are resilient to the effects of climate change
  • The workshop was Highly informative, highly enriching my knowledge.
