Dr. Himanshu Dubey is a molecular biologist and bioinformatician specializing in genomics and transcriptomics. He initiated his research career on genomics at the ICAR-National Institute for Plant Biotechnology (NIPB), New Delhi, focusing on fungal pathogens. Currently at Central Silk Board, his work centers on silkworm and host plant genomics to generate foundational genomic and transcriptomic resources for functional sericulture genomics.
