Specialty

Genome organization of catfish and its bacterial pathogens are pivotal in understanding the host-pathogen interactions.  Currently, I am conducting research to determine resistance genes of Edwardsiella ictaluri against catfish neutrophils.  I have active research in incorporating living colors in monitoring ESC disease in live catfish.  In addition, I am involved in whole genome sequencing and annotation of Flavobacterium columnare.
