Earlier, he served as Director of ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute, Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), and ICAR-Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala). He obtained his doctorate from ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, in Plant Pathology and Postdocs from Waksman Institute, Rutgers, USA, and CIRAD-AMIS, IGEPAM, France. He is a renowned scientist in the areas of molecular plant pathology, plant disease diagnostics, and structural and functional genomics of potato. He published more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and is the recipient of several awards and recognitions. Dr. Sanjeev Sharma is principal scientist at ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute, Shimla (Himachal Pradesh). He specializes in population biology, epidemiology, and management of potato pathogens, Phytophthora infestans in particular. He was part of the team that developed the pan-India late blight forecasting model “IndoBlightCast.” Dr. Sharma was honoured with ICAR Research Award for Outstanding Interdisciplinary Research (2015–16), New Delhi; besides numerous other awards. Dr. Sharma has over 150 research papers, book chapters, review papers, and technical bulletins to his credit. He represented India at various international fora pertaining to late blight of potato. Dr. Mohd Abas Shah is scientist at ICAR-Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier he served in the capacity of scientist at ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute-Regional Station, Jalandhar (Punjab) where he worked on the population biology, ecology, and management of sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), the potato aphids, and the viruses they transmit in potato crops. He has more than 30 peer-reviewed publications of national and international repute. He was awarded with best paper award from the Indian Potato Association, Shimla, besides various best poster awards and a gold medal for outstanding doctoral research from SKUAST-Kashmir.
