Biography:

I am currently focused on the development of multi-epitope vaccines for tuberculosis, aiming to explore their immunogenic potential, preclinical performance, and capacity to induce durable immune protection. My research emphasizes the use of innovative strategies to enhance vaccine efficacy through immunological modulation, combining advanced molecular biology techniques and bioinformatics tools to identify and design immunogenic epitopes with high protective potential.

My main research interests lie at the intersection of immunology and biotechnology, particularly in the areas of vaccine development, immunodiagnostics, and pathogen-host interactions. I am driven by the challenge of addressing global health threats such as tuberculosis and other infectious diseases by developing targeted, effective, and sustainable immunological solutions.
