Girdhar K. Pandey is working as Professor in the Department of Plant Molecular Biology, Delhi University South Campus, New Delhi, India. He is the Fellow of National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI) and National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), India. His group's research interest is to understand the detail mechanistic interplay of calcium-mediated signal transduction networks in plants under mineral nutrient (potassium and calcium) deficiency and abiotic stresses.
