Engineered Nanomaterials and Phytonanotechnology: Challenges for Plant Sustainability

Dr. Verma has more than 13 years' research and teaching experience in the field of biotechnology in India, Italy, South Korea, Turkey and he has published more than 40 papers in SCI journals. He is a recognized expert in the use of biotechnology, molecular biology, and nanotechnology techniques, giving many invited talks and presented papers at international conferences and symposia around the world. He has undergone an advanced training course on "A practical course in mammalian cell biology (MAM-TUBITAK, Turkey)?, "RNA structure and function? (ICGEB, Italy), and "Quorum sensing in plant-associated bacteria? (ICGEB, Italy). Furthermore, he has received two best oral paper presentation awards in national conferences and one young scientist award in international conference. Besides, he has also received a memento for scientific achievement from the Rector, BAIBU, Bolu, Turkey. He is also reviewer of many international peer reviewed journals.
