About Speaker:
Dr. Manish K Pandey completed his PhD in Plant Genetics from Osmania University while working in ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR), Hyderabad, India. He gained Post-doctoral research experience at University of Georgia, USA for a period of two years. He is currently leading the Groundnut Genomics group at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad, India. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ), Australia.

His key contributions include reference genome sequence for diploid progenitor and both the subspecies of cultivated tetraploid groundnut, gene expression atlas, low to high density SNP genotyping assays, diagnostic markers for key traits, quality control panel, marker-assisted pyramiding and genomic selection in groundnut. Through genomics-based breeding, his team developed two high oleic groundnut varieties which are released for cultivation in six states of India. He has published more than 150 scientific articles in various journals of international repute including Nature Genetics, PNAS-USA and Molecular Plant.

His efforts have been recognized at international level as he has been invited to deliver presentations in several international conferences, to review the proposals for international funding agencies and he is also collaborating with a large number of scientists at an international level. Recognizing his contributions, he has now been inducted in many scientific academies of India namely as Associate Fellow of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS)-New Delhi, Telangana Academy of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS)-Telangana, Andhra Pradesh Academy of Agricultural Sciences (APAS)-Andhra Pradesh, and Member of the National Academy of Sciences-India (NASI). He was also among the top 2% highly cited researchers in 2019 compiled by Stanford University, USA.
