Dr. Trivima Sharma is an Assistant Professor at Ganpat University. She holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from Ehime University, Japan, where she conducted research on the localization and roles of an enzyme during embryo development and apical hook development in Pea (Pisum sativum). She completed her M.Sc. in Biotechnology at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India, focusing on the characterization of cry genes from Bacillus thuringiensis specific for lepidopteron insects, and her B.Sc. in Agriculture at Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, India, where she gained practical agricultural experience working directly with rural farmers. 

Dr. Trivima has held various research and teaching positions, where she taught Plant Tissue Culture, and Research Assistant roles at Purdue University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the University of Calgary. Her work at Purdue involved wheat transformation for a USDA-funded project and greenhouse management, where she successfully optimized regeneration protocols from wheat callus. At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, she focused on duckweed transformation aimed at improving biofuel production and generating RNA libraries for next-generation sequencing. At the University of Calgary, she worked on the efficient transformation and regeneration of Brassica napus and screened mutant wheat seeds for drought tolerance. 

Dr. Trivima Sharma has published two first-author research papers in international peer-reviewed plant journals and has presented her research at international conferences in Japan and the USA. She has been awarded the MEXT Fellowship from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, Japan, for her doctoral studies and received a Merit Certificate from Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences for her academic achievements during her B.Sc. Her research interests include plant molecular biology, genetic transformation and regeneration protocols, crop improvement, and biofuel production through plant biotechnology. She has an extensive academic and research background, combined with hands-on experience in various high-profile laboratories, positions her as a valuable asset to the KKIASR at Ganpat University.
