He is a member of several scientific societies, including the Association of Microbiologists of India and the European Federation of Biotechnology. Dr. Singh has an extensive publication record, with over 250 research and review articles, 35 edited books (with publishers like Elsevier and Springer), and 125 book chapters. He is a reviewer for numerous prestigious journals. He has actively participated in and presented at numerous national and international scientific events.Dr. Vikas Sharma is currently working as Associate Professor in School of Bioengineering and Biosciences, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara-Jalandhar. He has published research, review articles and book chapters in leading International and National journals or books. He has wide area of research experience, especially in the field of Plant-Microbe Interactions, in vitro plant propagation and assay development for screening of beneficial plant microbe interactions related with the medicinal plants. Dr Sharma also serves as a member of editorial board of Plant cell biotechnology & molecular Biology. Dr. Sharma has attended several International and National Seminars, Symposia, Conferences and chaired technical sessions and presented papers in them. He has also organised funded National level conferences and workshops.
