Dr. Dev Mani Pandey visited the School of Biosciences at Swami Rama Himalayan University on December 15, 2025, to deliver a guest lecture. The event highlighted his expertise in molecular plant physiology, functional genomics, and bioinformatics. This report summarizes the visit based on the official invitation and institutional details.​ Dr. Pandey’s research focuses on molecular biology and functional genomics for identifying gene expression patterns and regulatory mechanisms in crop improvement. His work includes in silico approaches for biomolecular interactions, metabolic pathways, networks, and characterization of compounds from medicinal plants. These areas align with advancing plant biotechnology and bioinformatics applications.​ The talk was successfully achieved its aim to inspire students in research and academic pursuits through insights into genomics-driven plant physiology. It addressed regulatory mechanisms and bioinformatics tools relevant to crop enhancement and medicinal plant studies. Such expertise supports the school’s emphasis on molecular approaches in biosciences.​ The visit fosters potential collaborations in functional genomics and advances molecular biology between SRHU and BIT Mesra. It enhances student exposure to cutting-edge methodologies, potentially influencing ongoing research in regulatory networks and pathway analysis. Future joint endeavors were anticipated in the invitation.​
