RESEARCH INTEREST

My research interest evolved from molecular surveillance and epidemiology of viruses that pose a threat to the well-being of humans to beaming a searchlight into the genetic material of these viruses of medical importance to aid intervention and emergency preparedness. I aspire to be part of a multidisciplinary team of researchers that provide the needed information on viral and host factors that could be harnessed to prevent and treat viral infections.
