Research Area \ Research Statement \ Research Group Info

My research interests are focused mainly on understanding the basic biology, drug resistance, and regulation of membrane protein levels by various post-translational events in human pathogenic fungi, mostly belonging to the genus Candida. We also try to understand the drug resistance mechanisms adopted by different local clinical isolates of human pathogenic fungi. Besides research, I regularly teach various courses to Master’s level students at the University of Kashmir, Srinagar. In addition to research and teaching at university, I also serve as the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Young Ambassador to India, wherein we try to advance the knowledge about microbial sciences locally.
