About Profile:

Research Experience
My research program investigates new diagnostic tools, pathogenesis and innate immunity in severe malaria and epidemiology of drug resistance for P falciparum. The other additional areas include epidemiology and control of rickettsial diseases like SrubTyphus, molecular epidemiology of Haemoglobinopaties & G6PD deficiency, intestinal parasitism and nutrition, molecular epidemiology and control of lymphatic Filariasis.
