| Research Areas: |
The focus of my research is the molecular epidemiology of Clostridium perfringens in Poultry and Livestock species. My work frequently entails the bacterial outbreak investigation using whole genome, DNA fingerprinting-based platforms such as PFGE, MLST, etc. My expertise is in cutting-edge technologies to provide rapid and robust diagnostic solutions in food animals and research has contributed to molecular epidemiology of bacterial pathogens, particularly in unraveling the population genetic structure, evolution and virulence mechanisms of major zoonotic pathogens: Clostridium perfirngens, Salmonella enteridus, Staphylococcus aureus etc. I am member of the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (United Kingdom). |
