Introduction

Ayushi Gupta’s academic development reflects a progression from botanical training into interdisciplinary molecular and computational research. She completed a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Botany at the University of Delhi, followed by an M.Sc. in Botany, where she received recognition for academic performance. Her doctoral training at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in New Delhi focused on experimental questions involving insect microbiomes and epigenetic mechanisms. This period established her expertise in cloning, biochemical assays, gene-expression analysis and high-throughput sequencing.

Her research subsequently expanded through a British Council Women in STEM Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh. There, she investigated gene regulatory networks and developmental boundary specification in maize using complementary genetic, molecular, imaging and computational approaches. Since 2024, she has served as a DST-INSPIRE Faculty member at the ICAR-National Institute for Plant Biotechnology in Delhi, continuing research within plant and agricultural biotechnology.

Her publication record includes work addressing insect–microbiome relationships, epigenomic modifications and environmental adaptation. The research themes represented in these publications connect molecular mechanisms with broader questions of insect resilience, agricultural stress and biological adaptation.[3][4][5]

Research Profile

Ayushi Gupta’s research profile is characterized by the integration of experimental biology and computational analysis. Her laboratory experience includes cloning, biochemical assays, gene-expression studies and other molecular techniques, while her computational training encompasses analysis of sequencing datasets generated using Illumina, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore platforms. This combination enables her to connect experimentally observed phenotypes with genomic and epigenomic data.[1]

A major component of her doctoral work involved the brown planthopper, an agriculturally important insect pest. Her research examined microbial community variation, epigenetic mechanisms and environmental influences associated with insect adaptation. Particular attention was given to methylation patterns, transposable elements, microbiome composition and responses to pesticide and nutritional stresses.

Her postdoctoral research broadened the scope toward plant developmental biology. At the University of Edinburgh, she contributed to investigations of maize leaf development, with emphasis on gene regulatory networks and developmental boundaries. The multidisciplinary framework incorporated genetics, next-generation sequencing, molecular biology, live or three-dimensional imaging and computational modelling, allowing developmental processes to be examined at multiple biological levels.

Her stated technical expertise additionally includes structural and functional analysis of genes and proteins, protein and DNA interactions, data analysis, SPSS and the Schrödinger molecular-modelling platform. She has also trained and supervised undergraduate students and has experience presenting scientific findings to academic and multidisciplinary audiences.

Research Contributions

Ayushi Gupta’s research contributions can be grouped into several interconnected areas. Her work on insect microbiomes has examined how microbial associations may influence host biology, resilience and adaptation. Her research has also addressed the role of epigenomic processes in environmentally responsive phenotypes, including responses of the brown planthopper to pesticides and nutritional stress.[3][5]

  • Investigation of insect–microbiome interactions and their implications for host and microbial symbiont biology.
  • Study of epigenomic modifications associated with rapid adaptation and stress resilience in insects.
  • Analysis of next-generation sequencing datasets from Illumina, PacBio and Nanopore platforms.
  • Research into gene regulatory networks and developmental boundary specification in maize.
  • Integration of molecular biology, genetics, imaging and computational modelling in plant developmental research.
  • Application of computational and structural bioinformatics approaches to gene and protein analysis.
  • Development of interdisciplinary expertise connecting plant science, insect biology, microbiology, epigenetics and agricultural biotechnology.

Her conference and outreach activities further demonstrate engagement with the scientific community. She has presented research at plant protection, experimental biology and agricultural science meetings and has participated in scientific communication initiatives. Her documented presentations include work on insect microbiomes, epigenomic adaptation and maize gene regulatory networks.

Publications

Ayushi Gupta has reported a publication record comprising research articles and book chapters, with several works addressing insect–microbiome interactions and epigenetic adaptation. Her publication portfolio demonstrates continuity between her doctoral research and broader interests in biological resilience, environmental stress and molecular regulation. Bibliographic records supplied for this profile identify 11 documents and 380 citations in Google Scholar, with a reported h-index of 6; a separate Scopus summary supplied for the profile reports 8 documents, 259 citations and an h-index of 5.

Her record also includes eight research articles identified as first-author publications in the supplied professional profile, with additional manuscripts described as being in preparation or in the publication pipeline.

Research Impact

The scientific significance of Ayushi Gupta’s work lies in its interdisciplinary treatment of adaptation and biological resilience. By combining microbiome analysis, epigenetics, molecular biology and computational approaches, her research addresses mechanisms operating between genotype, molecular regulation, microbial association and environmental response. Such approaches are relevant to understanding agricultural pests and to developing more informed strategies for sustainable crop protection.

Her research has also generated communication beyond conventional journal publication. Work on transposon methylation and environment-guided microbial shifts was featured by Biopatrika in 2022, while her conference activities have included presentations at international and national scientific meetings. She has additionally contributed to science outreach through documentary participation, student-facing events and scientific networking activities.

The professional record supplied for this article documents several forms of recognition, including academic excellence awards, a gold medal in Botany, competitive research fellowships, the British Council Women in STEM Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship, the DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship and the MK Bhan Young Researcher Fellowship.
