Research Interests:
Scientist’s research interests are on the development of viral vaccine and point-of-care diagnostics against various viral diseases. He is also involved in isolation and authentication of various animal viruses (PPRV, CSFV, PCV-2, BPXV, CMLV, ERV, EHV-1) and poultry viruses (Infectious bursal disease virus, Newcastle disease virus, Fowlpox virus, Infectious bronchitis virus) and anaerobic bacteria (C.chauvoei, C.perfringens) in the NCVTC Repository.
