  National Institute of Malaria Research

  May 2017 - Jan 2022

  The Center of Excellence on Climate Change and Vector Borne diseases is a national project under the Department of Science and Technology (Government of India), that studies the effect of climate change on major vector borne diseases such as Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Visceral / Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, Scrub Typhus etc. It is here that I am involved in various research activities that involve both extensive lab work, as well as regular field visits. At present, my research focus is on heat shock proteins that help mosquitoes survive extreme temperatures. I am also involved in studying the epidemiology of VBD in view of climate change. Due to the scope of my work, I have had to develop a wide array of skills ranging from statistical analysis, conducting surveys, basic mapping and GIS to wet lab techniques such as ELISA, DNA isolation, PCR etc. Show less
