Our laboratory focuses on environmental health and intracellular gases in chronic clinical infections. The major research interest of the laboratory is WHO priority group bacterial infections including Tuberculosis, HIV-TB, and TB-Diabetes.  The group focuses on One Health approaches to study human health, nutrition, bioenergetics, mitochondrial health, and immunometabolism. A recent thrust area is to address the Institutional and National requirements to investigate emerging and re-emerging infections, including COVID-19, mucormycosis, new diagnostics, and therapeutics for improved healthcare. The group also focus on sustainable biosafety and biosecurity practices.
