معرفی
Parvathy Krishnan is a Guest researcher in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Molecular Plant Biology within the Section for Molecular Plant Biology.
Her academic background includes:
- Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (2013-2018) on gene expression regulation in plant pathogenic fungi
- M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Tamil Nadu Agriculture University, India (2008-2010) focusing on chilli leaf curl virus characterization
- B.Sc. in Agriculture from Tamil Nadu Agriculture University, India (2004-2008)
Dr. Krishnan's research integrates molecular techniques to investigate plant-pathogen interactions and botanical pharmacology. Her work spans fungal adaptation mechanisms, plant-virus systems, and metabolomic profiling of underexplored plant resources, with emphasis on transcriptional regulation and pharmacological potential assessment.
Recent publications reveal dual research trajectories: exploration of Latin-American plant metabolomics for drug discovery (2025) and genetic network analysis in the Arabidopsis-Botrytis model system (2023), demonstrating expertise in both natural product chemistry and molecular plant pathology.
She actively contributes to the Section for Molecular Plant Biology at the University of Copenhagen, advancing research in plant-environment interactions through advanced analytical methodologies and systems biology approaches.
