Biography
Group studies the molecular mechanisms of virus replication and pathogenesis. Animal viruses currently being studied in laboratory are Chikungunya virus and Hepatitis E virus. They are also interested in isolation of new bacteriophages, study diversity and genomic characterization of phages and examine them for properties which may be useful for pathogen detection and bio-control purpose on food industry, poultry and environmental applications. His Education & Scientific Career: Scientist C, Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, Jan 2014 to till date, DST INSPIRE Faculty, National Institute of Virology, Pune 2012 to 2013, Postdoctoral Associate, Virginia Tech University, VA, USA 2011 to 2012 and Ph.D., National Institute of Virology, Pune 2006- 2011.
Research Interest
Their research is focused on animal viruses and bacteriophages. Animal viruses currently being studied in laboratory are Chikungunya virus and Hepatitis E virus. Work is mainly focused on molecular mechanisms of virus replication with special interests in virus-host and virus-vector interactions
