Research Interest

My primary responsibility is to manage the BIOMMED protein core facility supported by LBRN, LUNG COBRE & cancer COBRE. To produce protein and antibody and reagents needed for faculty research projects and to train students in the use of SPR in protein interaction study.  
Others areas of research interest include studying the molecular virology of bovine herperpesvirus type-1 to generate improve vaccines by manipulating the viral genome using Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) and Crispr cas-9 technology. 

Teaching Interest

Molecular Virology and pathogenesis caused by different human and animal herpesviruses
