Research Profile
The increasing incidence of infectious diseases in wildlife, fisheries, and aquaculture presents significant challenges to biodiversity and economic stability in agricultural sectors. My research uses metagenomics to identify and characterize viral pathogens affecting wildlife and hindering fisheries and aquaculture growth. In addition, I am developing innovative diagnostic tools and techniques to detect and monitor the prevalence of these pathogens effectively. A significant aspect of my work also involves investigating how infections lead to disease in aquatic animals, including understanding the tissue tropism of pathogens, the host immune responses to viral infections, and the influence of environmental factors (abiotic and biotic) on disease outcomes. By integrating these approaches, my research aims to contribute to efforts that safeguard biodiversity and support the economic viability of fisheries and aquaculture.
