I have published more research in local and international scientific journals.

 

Research Interests:

I will be excited to explore different research areas in immunology. 

• Immunology is important in understanding disease pathologies like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and oncology.
• Immune regulation is like understanding the complexities of the signalling cascade in various immunological cells, or lymphocytes.
• Comprehending fundamental immunological principles, applicable to bedside situations, is crucial.
• Role of infection in cancer.
