Research areas: Molecular and biochemical aspects in several fungi, bacteria and parasites, cloned and functionally characterized several of their genes. Current interest: diagnostics of microbial pathogens in the clinical isolates and development of Drug/Vaccine candidates against visceral Leishmaniasis. I was instrumental in the development of one live attenuated Leishmania parasite vaccine candidate against ‘visceral leishmaniasis’ disease and is currently under plan for a clinical trail.
