Dr. Subroto Kumar Das is an Assistant Professor of Botany, University of Barishal, Bangladesh. He has been involved in teaching and research on Genetics, Plant Breeding and Plant Biotechnology in Barishal University. Apart from this he has 9 years teaching experience in different govt. colleges, Bangladesh and one year research experience on Plant tissue culture and Biotechnology in International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, India. Moreover, have expertise on basic molecular techniques like cloning and gene expression in heterologous expression system, construction of gene vector, PCR, Sequencing, Southern, Northern, Western, isozyme and RAPD etc.Currently he is involved in research related to the adaptation of lentil and chili varieties in salt stress and water logging condition.
