About me

I am a veterinarian specializing in the development and translation of advanced molecular diagnostic tools to deepen our understanding of the epidemiology, management, and control of parasitic zoonoses and companion animal vector-borne diseases. My research, primarily conducted across the Asia-Pacific region, underscores the critical importance of a One Health approach to effectively intervene in zoonotic disease transmission and safeguard both human and animal health.
