Research Topic:
Our research encompasses vaccinology and immunology of infectious diseases, and
nanomedicine. We are currently investigating therapeutic interventions of infectious diseases,
leishmaniasis and cancer using nanoparticles alone or as drug carriers. Dendritic cell and
nano-particles based prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines is also being explored.
