Manoj Majee is an Indian plant molecular biologist, biochemist, inventor and a senior scientist at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), New Delhi. He is known for his studies on the molecular and biochemical basis of seed vigor, longevity and seedling establishment.[1]
Majee graduated in Botany with honors from
Majee holds two patents,[4] and has published a number of articles,[5][note 1] ResearchGate, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 49 of them.[6][7] The Department of Biotechnology of the Government of India awarded him the National Bioscience Award for Career Development, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to biosciences, in 2017/18.[8] He is also a recipient of the Young Scientist Medal of the Indian National Science Academy[9] and the Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award of the National Academy of Sciences, India, both in 2011.[10]
