Spurthi D.

I am a Plant Biotechnology professional with a Master’s degree in Biotechnology (Plant Biotechnology) from the University of Queensland, Australia. I specialize in plant tissue culture, genetic transformation, CRISPR-based gene editing, and molecular biology techniques.

With hands-on experience as a Tissue Culture Technician, I have worked extensively on in vitro plant propagation, media optimization, aseptic techniques, and regeneration protocols. My research interests include plant genetic engineering, small ORFs (sORFs), stress biology, and crop improvement strategies in horticultural crops.

Beyond laboratory expertise, I am deeply passionate about teaching and mentoring students. I focus on helping high school and undergraduate students understand core biology concepts, molecular biology, biotechnology, and research methodology in a simplified and practical manner. I also guide students in reading scientific papers, building strong conceptual foundations, and developing scientific writing skills.

My teaching approach combines conceptual clarity, real-world applications, and research-based thinking to help students not just score well, but truly understand science.
