Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants

Dr. Alvina Gul is a Tenured Associate Professor at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan. She previously worked for Cornell University in New York, USA; the USDA Genotyping and Sequencing Laboratory at Kansas State University; and the Plant Breeding Institute at the University of Sydney, Australia. The primary focus of her research career has been on integrating new allelic variation for improved wheat crop production and yield maximization in order to enhance food security. Dr. Gul has published more than 80 peer-reviewed publications and 140 book chapters, as well as one book with Elsevier.
