PhD-trained microbial geneticist with over 12 years of experience in computational biology, bio-statistics, and analysis of bioactive compounds. Advanced skill in R and BASH, meta-omics data analysis (meta-genomics and meta-transcriptomics) molecular evolution of proteins (Membrane protein, Enzymes, Scaffold protein). I have work experience in 4 different countries (India, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the UK) with colleagues from more than 15 nations.
Most of my work is devoted to genomically characterising Salmonella Paratyphi A with a particular focus on AMR, virulence factors, phylogeny and global distribution of the pathogen. I am also interested in azithromycin resistance within S. Paratyphi A with a focus on the increase of resistance in low-mid-income countries.
Although S. Paratyphi A is the main focus of my research, I am also interested in studying the human gut microbiome.
