I'm a researcher with a strong focus on viral and bacterial diseases in tilapia, particularly in the areas of pathobiology, diagnostic tools, and practical disease control at the farm level. My work aims to support more sustainable and resilient aquaculture systems. I have hands-on experience with a range of molecular biology techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular cloning, and DNA transfer methods. I'm also familiar with gene expression analysis using PCR and RT-qPCR, and I’ve worked extensively on protein expression and purification in bacterial systems, including western blotting and immunological assays. Much of my research involves working directly with fish in lab-based settings. I’m especially interested in improving how we detect and manage diseases in aquaculture, with the broader goal of supporting fish health and improving production outcomes for farmers.
