Biology
My research experience and interest are to study host-parasites interaction, Immune response (specific T, B, MQ, Dendritic cells and specific memory T, B related study) during parasite interaction, drug and vaccine development against, parasites infection. Presently, I am working on parasite diversity, Immune behaviors & responses, diagnosis and vaccine development of Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma haematobium (Trematode worm) and Plasmodium parasites (Malaria). I have more than 9- years research experiences in the field of studying clinically and economically important human pathogens. My research work has focused mostly on human and animals parasitic diseases; blood fluke, Schistosoma parasites, human whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) and vector borne parasites (Malaria and Filaria), understanding host-parasites interaction, Immune network and pathogenesis of parasitic diseases, isolation of viable parasite, diagnosis, developing reliable diagnostic methods, discovering novel natural and synthetic anti-parasitic agents and mapping the parasites proteins and gene to identify potential vaccine candidates and drug targets against parasites infection.
