Dr. Khyati is currently working as assistant Professor in the school of Biological and Life sciences. She has a total experience of 2 year after obtaining her PhD degree. She earned her Doctroral degree from Department of Zoology, University of Delhi. She has been connected with Galgotias University since August 2023. Her doctoral research work was focused on the insect behaviour and circadian biology/ biorhythm’s. Her expertise and interest extend across diverse fields including Reproductive biology, Neurobiology, Physiology and Chronobiology. She has expertise in diverse research techniques immunohistochemistry, ELISA, Florescent microscopy, Co-localization,, gene expression analysis (RT-PCR), and gene cloning.
