BIOGRAPHY
My research lies primarily in the field of infectious diseases, with a specialised focus on malaria. This includes elucidating the human malaria parasite's biology, identifying antimalarial drug targets, discovering novel compounds from medicinal plants, and establishing monkey malaria in vitro culture. My research also focuses on dengue vector control strategy using bioinsecticides through biological, molecular, and computational approaches.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on human malaria and dengue, emphasizing innovative, sustainable control strategies. I study malaria parasite biology, identify antimalarial drug targets, and discover plant-based therapeutics. I also work on monkey malaria culture and develop bioinsecticides for controlling the dengue vector using biological, molecular, and computational approaches.
