Current research Interest: ​

• In-silico analysis of the prokaryotic genes.

• Identifying horizontally acquired regions in prokaryotic genomes and their involvement in pathogenesis with Vibrio cholerae as a model organism.

• In-silico comparative genomic study of different strains of V. cholerae.

• Development of new in-silico methods of comparing and characterizing proteins.

• Analysis of structure-function relationship proteins.​
