Pankaj Jaiswal is a Professor in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Oregon State University. He leads the Jaiswal Lab, which focuses on plant genomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology. His research integrates computational and experimental approaches to study flowering time, seed development, and plant responses to abiotic stresses. Dr. Jaiswal is affiliated with the Center for Quantitative Life Sciences and collaborates with projects like the Gramene Database and Plant Ontology.
Education: Ph.D. (1998), M.Sc. (1992), B.Sc. (1990) from Lucknow University, India. Professional awards include the Emerging Scholar Faculty Award (2013) and recognition from the Rice Genetics Cooperative (2009).
Research interests span comparative plant genomics, functional genomics, bioinformatics tools, and database development. His lab has contributed to projects such as the Gramene Database, Plant Reactome, and Planteome, supporting interdisciplinary training in plant biology and computational methods.
Key achievements include the chia genome assembly, space biology studies on plant transcriptomes, and collaborations on pathway databases for rice, maize, and other species. His work emphasizes leveraging genomic resources to address agricultural challenges like crop improvement and climate adaptation.
