Research Area My interest in parasite biology is driven by the desire to understand (A) RNA editing pathway and Molecular Mechanism of Drug Resistance in Leishmania donovani, causative agent of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) or Kala-azar and (B) the molecular mechanism behind the transformation of filarial parasite, Brugia malayi, causative agent of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) from larval stage (resides in vector) to adult worms (resides in host) and to identify novel drug target thorough proteomic and genomic approach. (A) Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala azar
