What I do:
My current project is constructing the huMAbs from the plasmablast of patients with acute scrub typhus to improve the diagnosis and also to understand the antibody responses against the disease for vaccine development. My second project is to understand which bacteria factors are involved in the virulence of the bacteria.
My research focus is to understand the immune responses against obligate intracellular bacteria Orientia tsutsugamushi for diagnosis and vaccine development.
