Jasvir Kaur
Dr. Jasvir Kaur is an Assistant Professor at Chandigarh University, Mohali, India. She completed her M.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (Hons.) from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar in 2010, and received her Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in 2019. Dr. Kaur later worked as a Research Associate at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (2019–2022) on an ICMR-funded project. Her research interests include protein/enzyme-based biosensing of environmental pollutants (such as pesticides) and various biological markers (e.g., trypsin, alkaline phosphatase), as well as protein science and molecular biology. She has published 14 research papers in international journals and has an H-index of 10 (about 500 citations).
