Profile Summary

..My academic journey has been marked by a robust publication record, with 57 articles to my credit. These contributions have earned me an H-Index of 14 and an i10-index of 18. My research has primarily focused on the virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans, employing advanced techniques like CRISPR-Cas9. Additionally, I have explored chronic wound infections and other microbial diseases. My expertise is not limited to the laboratory; I am also skilled in fields such as Bio-catalysis and Computational Biology, underpinned by a strong foundation in project management..
