The Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) is set to bestow Dr Pallavi Singh with the president’s medal. The award will be presented at the SEB conference, scheduled to take place from 2-5 July in Prague.
The president’s medals are awarded annually to young scientists of outstanding merit.
Singh grew up in India and completed her BSc (Botany, Chemistry) and MSc (Biochemistry) from Lucknow University. In 2011, she was awarded the CSIR-Junior Research Fellowship to pursue a PhD at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi, where she worked on defining MAPK signal transduction networks and submergence tolerance in rice.
Singh’s PhD work has been recognized by the NASI Young Scientist Awards (2019, 2017) from the Academy of Sciences in India.
In October 2015, she joined Cornell University where her work on rice-xanthomonas interactions revealed a novel role of pathogenic TAL-effectors in bidirectional transcription in rice, contributing to the understanding of disease susceptibility.
In 2017, Singh moved to the University of Cambridge (UK) to work with Professor Julian Hibberd. At Cambridge, her research focussed on transcriptional regulation of C4 photosynthesis. She was later appointed as the John Henry Coates Research Fellow at Emmanuel College in 2018.
Since September 2022, she has been working as a lecturer at the University of Essex (UK). Her research group focuses on studying various aspects of water use strategies in crop plants. The overarching goal of their research is to develop more water-efficient crops and promote climate-smart agriculture.
The Society for Experimental Biology is a learned society established in 1923 at Birkbeck College in London to “promote the art and science of experimental biology in all its branches.”
