Scientist I
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Madison, Wisconsin
Dr. Arkadipta Bakshi works as a Scientist I in the Department of Botany at University of Wisconsin, Madison in the lab of Dr. Simon Gilroy. He had received his Ph.D. from University of Tennessee, Knoxville under the guidance of Dr. Brad Binder, working on the contrasting roles of ethylene receptors on seed germination under different abiotic stress factors. Currently, he works on deciphering the role of calcium signaling and components involved in that signaling pathway in the regulation of flooding and low-oxygen stress responses in plants. In addition, he is also involved in multiple projects in collaboration with NASA, where he is studying ways to grow plants better in the outerspace microgravity environment.
