Brief Statement of Research Interest
My research interests lie at the intersection of Agricultural Entomology, Microbiology, Zoology, Ecology, and Nutrition Ecology, with a strong focus on exploring the intricate relationships between organisms and their environments. I am particularly interested in Immunology, Genetic Engineering, and Protein Expression, aiming to develop innovative solutions for disease prevention and sustainable agriculture. My work involves vector construction, gene expression studies, and the construction of recombinant bacterial systems for applications in vaccine development. Additionally, I am passionate about wildlife conservation and utilization, integrating molecular and ecological approaches to preserve biodiversity while promoting sustainable resource use.
Through my research, I seek to advance knowledge in these fields and contribute to practical applications that enhance animal health, environmental sustainability, and food security. My long-term goal is to develop novel biotechnological tools and ecological strategies to address global challenges in agriculture, medicine, and conservation.
