Research: 

Cellular microbiology in the context of biomedical sciences has always attracted my attention. Bacterial diseases continue to present a major treat to human health. Together with well-characterized pathogenic bacteria species, the discovery of new organisms responsible for emerging diseases present a clear defy to biomedical researchers.
