Delving into microbial genomics, I decode genetic landscapes to uncover hidden insights that inform disease prevention and therapeutic strategies. My ventures into innovative molecular assays, including the revolutionary CRISPR technology, redefine diagnostics, enabling the detection of emerging infectious diseases with incredible precision. My passion extends to the intricate world of cancer research, particularly focused on the tumor microenvironment and the potency of Natural Killer (NK) cells across diverse animal species. Through these explorations, I strive to uncover the mechanisms driving tumor progression and identify novel biomarkers that hold the promise of personalized cancer immunotherapies. My expertise in advanced techniques like flow cytometry, cell sorting, CRISPR genome editing positions me at the vanguard of research seeking to leverage the immune system's potential against cancer and infectious diseases. The translational impact of my research is a cornerstone of my work. By collaborating with clinicians, industry partners, and policymakers, I aim to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical solutions. I am committed to guiding the next generation of scientists, nurturing their curiosity, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Ultimately, my research endeavors are united by a common goal: to transform healthcare by merging scientific insight with innovative solutions that lead to improved patient outcomes and a healthier future. My teaching focus revolves around equipping graduate and veterinary students with cutting-edge knowledge and skills in molecular biology, microbial bioinformatics, immunology, virology, and infectious diseases. Guided by a passion for mentorship and knowledge dissemination, I am dedicated to fostering a transformative learning experience that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of veterinary science.
