About me
I possess a diverse background in both animal and human health research. I am a veterinarian holding a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and a Master's in Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiology and I offer a blend of experience as a Senior Lecturer in One Health.
My prior roles as a Senior Policy Officer at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), WA, a Research Fellow at Curtin Medical School, Curtin University, and Assistant Professor in Veterinary Public Health and Epidemiology at the College of Veterinary Sciences, Central Agricultural University, Mizoram, India enabled me to address critical animal and human health issues, contributing to my multidisciplinary expertise.
My research interests primarily revolve around infectious diseases and One Health in livestock and companion animals, focusing on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), zoonoses, food safety, bovine mastitis, staphylococcal infections, biofilm research, and the development of vaccines and point-of-care tests.
I am dedicated to discovering innovative solutions aimed at reducing economic losses and the use of xenobiotics in farming, particularly in small-scale dairy production in developing nations. With 49 research publications in esteemed journals, my dedication is directed toward advancing animal health and disease management within the framework of One Health.
