Powering groundbreaking plant genomics research
The University of Delhi is one of India’s largest and most renowned higher education institutions, with a community of over 62,000 students. Since it was established in 1984, the university’s Department of Genetics has emerged as a major hub for teaching and research in genetics, genomics, and molecular biology.
The department is recognized internationally for its scientists’ work on plant and human genetics, plant breeding, crop improvement, and crop health. The human geneticists at the University of Delhi perform Omics (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics) analytics to understand the genetic basis of several human diseases, including schizophrenia, Parkinson’s, and rheumatoid arthritis. The Centre for Genetic Manipulation of Crop Plants (CGMCP) was established in 1996 at the South Campus of the University of Delhi with funding from the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
