Brief Statement of Research Interest

Brief Statement of Research Interest

My research primarily focuses on infectious diseases, reproductive biology, epidemiology, and entomology. My research work spans diverse topics, including zoonotic diseases (e.g., brucellosis, tick-borne pathogens), reproductive physiology (e.g., buffalo semen cryopreservation, oocyte maturation), and public health (e.g., antibiotic resistance, asthma prevalence). I have also explored environmental contaminants (e.g., heavy metal toxicity in poultry) and plant-based bioactive compounds. Through molecular detection, risk assessment, and innovative biological interventions, my research aims to improve disease management, fertility preservation, and environmental health.
