Post-Doctoral Scholars

Areas of Expertise

• Data Integration and Research Design • Bioinformatics • Comparative & Functional Genomics for Pathogens (whole genome comparison, SNP/variant analysis, and pan-genome analysis; field vs vaccine strain differences) • Phylogenomics, Population Genomics & Genomic Epidemiology (strain typing, evolutionary analysis, and outbreak tracking of veterinary pathogens across One Health systems) • Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) (pathogen detection, genome assembly, variant calling, and diagnostic surveillance workflows) • Metagenomics (mixed sample analysis for pathogen detection and microbial community profiling) • RNA-Seq (e.g., differential gene expression under disease vs control conditions) • GWAS / Genotype–Phenotype Association (linking genetic variation with virulence, host specificity, and antimicrobial resistance) • Structural Bioinformatics (protein-level interpretation of mutations, motif analysis, and functional impact assessment) • Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Profiling (resistance gene detection, gene cassette analysis, and surveillance in bacterial pathogens within a One Health framework) • One Health Genomics & Surveillance (integrating animal, environmental, and public health data for pathogen monitoring, transmission and disease prevention)
