Devendra Jain | Nano-Biotechnology | Best Researcher Award Published on 17/09/202517/09/2025 by Cell Biologist Dr. Devendra Jain | Nano-Biotechnology | Best Researcher Award MPUAT | India Dr. Devendra Jain is an accomplished Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology, Udaipur, India. With a strong academic foundation, including a Ph.D. in Science from Rajasthan University and an M.Sc. in Plant Biotechnology from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, he has made significant contributions to agricultural microbiology and plant biotechnology. His research interests focus on plant-microbe interactions, bioremediation, nanobiotechnology, and the development of microbial inoculants for sustainable agriculture. Dr. Jain has published over 100 Scopus-indexed, peer-reviewed research papers in reputed international journals, reflecting the depth and breadth of his scientific expertise. His work has received widespread recognition, accumulating more than 1,200 citations, with an h-index of 19, highlighting both the quality and impact of his research. Notably, his studies on zinc-solubilizing and plant growth-promoting bacteria, as well as the application of nanotechnology in agriculture, have contributed significantly to soil health and crop productivity under abiotic stress conditions. Through interdisciplinary collaborations and applied research, Dr. Jain continues to advance knowledge in agricultural biotechnology, positioning himself as a key contributor to India’s sustainable farming research landscape.
