Research Interests:
I am interested in the in vitro culture of Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora. I would also like to provide services in monoclonal antibody (MAb) production to food-borne parasites. Members who are either interested in acquiring MAbs or get in vitro works done can initiate collaborative works with me.
