Brief Statement of research work

My research focuses on antimicrobial resistance, clinical microbiology, and molecular diagnostics, with particular emphasis on the surveillance and genetic characterization of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. I also work on the application of molecular and phenotypic diagnostic approaches for the rapid detection and characterization of infectious agents. My long-term goal is to contribute to strengthening diagnostic capacity and antimicrobial stewardship strategies through high-quality research, innovation, and academic leadership.
