About Khushboo Rastogi
With over 6 years of dedicated research experience, my core competencies lie in gene editing, genomics, and genetics, particularly within the field of sustainable agriculture. In my current role at Texas A&M University, I am committed to advancing our understanding of crop resilience and nutritional quality, aligning my work with the institution\'s mission to foster innovation for societal benefit. My diverse experiences, coupled with a collaborative spirit, enable me to contribute unique insights to our team\'s endeavors.My most recent project involved developing high-lysine rice, where I led efforts from identification to validation, achieving a notable increase in lysine content without affecting rice\'s agronomic performance. Simultaneously, during my co-op at Bayer, I worked on enhancing the precision of genome editing in soy. These experiences have honed my skills in applying cutting-edge genomics techniques to address critical challenges in crop science.
