About Me

Dr. Satyabrata Nanda has a Ph.D. in Biotechnology with a specialization in Plant Protection from Siksha O Anusandhan University, Odisha. His education includes B-Tech, M-Tech, and Ph.D. in Biotechnology. After his Ph.D., he received the Overseas Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) to carry out further research at China National Rice Research Institute, Hangzhou, China. He has got three research grants from different funding agencies, including the Science and Engineering Research Board ( Govt. of India), Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China, and Zhejiang Provincial Grant (Govt. of China). Apart from this, he has also received other financial supports/grants, such as the International Travel Support (ITS) from SERB-DST, Govt. of India.

His research is primarily focused on plant protection by using functional genomics and targeted genome engineering. His research outcomes have been published in several journals of international repute. The cumulative SCI Impact factor of his publications is >100 and the total NAAS rating >300. He has an h-index of 13 and an i10-index of 20, with >400 citations. 

Currently, he is extending his services as a Review Editor in Frontiers in Plant Science journal, and also an active reviewer for the reputed SCI journals, including Journal of Advance Research, Plant Biotechnology Journal, Cells, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Frontiers in Microbiology, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Biology, Molecules, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, Genes, Plant Molecular Biology, and Journal of Biotechnology.
