M. Mukesh


Manishi Mukesh, Ph. D. is working as the Principal Scientist (Professor) and ICAR National Fellow at Department of Animal Biotechnology, ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources, Karnal (India). He obtained his Master's degree in Animal Biotechnology from National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal and doctorate in Biotechnology from Panjab University, Chandigarh (India). He has more than 20 years of experience as a research scientist in the area of cattle and buffalo genomics. He is engaged in assessing the genome diversity of various cattle breeds of India using neutral and functional markers. His group has made significant contribution to the area of mammary gland transcriptomics and functional genomics of riverine buffaloes.


Currently, he is engaged in thermoregulation genomics to understand the molecular basis of thermotolerance and adaptation of Indian cattle and buffalo breeds to diverse agroclimatic conditions. He has worked at Mammalian NutriPhysioGenomics Lab, University of Illinois, USA to understand various tissue transcriptomic responses during various physiological conditions in high producing dairy cattle.


Dr. M. Mukesh has published more than 80 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals. He has contributed in several book chapters, technical bulletins and monographs on cattle breeds based on the phenotypic and molecular characterization. Dr. Mukesh has been awarded CAR- National Fellow position by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) for his contribution in the area of animal sciences.
