SURIYA TAMILSELVAN NATTAR AMUTHA

Dedicated researcher with expertise in molecular biology. Successfully managed two major and one minor project, publishing two peer-reviewed scientific articles during doctoral and specialized master’s studies. Developed advanced molecular biology tools that have been adopted by other laboratories, contributing significantly to scientific advancement. Known for strong leadership skills, refined through supervising students. Passionate about developing molecular tools, including genotyping platforms and targeted gene manipulation techniques, to enhance plant breeding.

Authored and co-authored two peer-reviewed scientific articles:
