Molecular virology and pathology:

My major interest is to study the molecular pathogenesis and life cycle of animal and human viruses. The current emphasis is on the intracellular interactions between host and viruses, leading to the development of antiviral drugs. Major extension activities include the diagnosis of domestic and companion animal diseases using histopathology, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, PCR, RT-PCR, etc.
