B.Sc., University of California, Davis, Biology - exchange program, 2004.

Expertise and Research Interests

I have expertise in animal virus discovery, charaterization and qualitification. The techniques that I am competent with include Shotgun Sequencing, PCR, Quantitative PCR (real time PCR), Reverse Transcriptase PCR, Cloning, Microarray, Virus purification, DNA/RNA virus characterization and enmumberation , and Bioinformatics. My Ph.D. thesis is on discovering and detecting novel viruses in animals and various habitats using viral metagenomics.
