Area of Research Interests

  • My research area of interest is Tumor biology and Genetic Engineering.
  • My work involves molecular diagnosis of tumors in animals by developing recombinant antigen based serological assay. Present work also includes identification and characterization of marker genes/proteins responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease.
  • Currently, I am working on development of therapeutic xenogenic DNA vaccines against canine mammary tumors in a DBT sponsored project. I am also associated (as co-PI) in another DBT sponsored network project on the development of diagnostics against African Swine Fever.
