Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Preeti Nagar's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying plant stress responses and their applications in agriculture, as well as the role of molecular pathways in human cancer development. Her work on plants includes studying the function of phytosulfokine receptors in enhancing abscisic acid response and drought stress tolerance in rice, and their role in leaf senescence and reactive oxygen species signaling in *Arabidopsis thaliana*. Nagar has also examined transcript profiling of Polycomb gene families in *Oryza sativa* to understand abiotic stress responses. In the realm of human health, her research focuses on the involvement of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in tumorigenesis and the impact of the NONO protein on breast cancer cell pathways. She has also explored RNA splicing in cancer and its potential for targeted therapies, including the role of SRSF6 and SRSF1 in human gene regulation relevant to cancer.
