Dr. Senjuti Sinharoy has served as a Scientist at the BRIC-National Institute of Plant Genome Research (BRIC-NIPGR) in India since 2017. She completed her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Chemistry and Biochemistry, respectively, at Calcutta University, where she subsequently earned her Ph.D. in 2009. She then joined the Noble Research Institute (USA), initially as a Postdoctoral Fellow and later progressing to Research Scientist. A recipient of the prestigious Ramalingaswami Fellowship, SERB Early Career Award, and SERB-POWER Grant, Dr. Sinharoy has published in high-impact journals such as The Plant Cell, Plant Physiology, and New Phytologist. Her contributions also include genome sequencing projects for Medicago and peanut. Currently, her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of root nodule symbiosis (RNS) in legumes and biological nitrogen fixation and delivery microbes, aiming to tackle global nitrogen sustainability issues.
