Academic Appointment
Education
Degrees
- PhD from Indian Institute of Science
- MSc from University of Hyderabad
- B.Sc. from Andhra University
Research
Focus
- Our research focus is to understand the mechanisms by which innate and adaptive immune systems interact together in response to infection and generate the most efficient protective immune memory. Lessons learned from such experimental models will be useful for rational and refined vaccine and therapeutic design.
