Dr. Gayen has expertise in the field of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, miRNA and genetic engineering. In his work, he has gainfully combined his expertise in the area of plant molecular biology, particularly nutritional genomics with the techniques of cell biology. Dr. Gayen has also made significant progress in comprehensive analysis and characterization of the mitochondrial and chloroplast proteome for dissecting the molecular stress adaptation mechanism under dehydration in crop plants.

Dr. Gayen is presently involved in (i) protein homeostasis of chloroplast and mitochondria through protease system (ii) functional characterization novel stress responsive candidate genes of chloroplast and mitochondria and (iii) post-translational modification (phosphoproteomics) in response to stress (iv) CRISPR-Cas mediated genome editing. The major target is to identify the regulatory pathways which would provide direction for designing improved crops for sustainable agriculture.
