Dr. Noushina Iqbal is currently working as SERB-National Post-Doctoral Fellow in Jamia Hamdard, India. During her PhD, she received the UGC-BSR Fellowship for meritorious student and worked on an UP-CST funded research project. She also got the prestigious Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) by CSIR. She has more than 30 peer reviewed international publications and has authored 1 book and edited 3 books. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of hormonal regulation of plant growth with special emphasis on photosynthesis under abiotic stress. The mechanistic approach applied by nutrients and signaling molecules under varied environmental stress is her priority. She deals with crosstalk between hormones for the modulation of nutrient-use efficiency, source-sink relation and abiotic stress tolerance.
