About me

I am interested in the biological and molecular characterization of viruses causing diseases in livestock including aquatic animals. I focus on studies about viral infectious diseases such as diagnosis and vaccine development. My current researches are the development of new-generation vaccines and multi-valent vaccines against viral infectious diseases.
