Research/Teaching Interests
I am Tropical and Infectious diseases and biomedical science expert and my research interest is include novel methods of control for Tropical diseases such as viral infection, parasitic infection and neglected tropical diseases and cancer biology. The main focus of my research is on the molecular and serological characterization of infectious diseases like viral diseases. I undertakes both field and lab research and work on collaborative projects in tropical country and my country Ethiopia.
My research interest include Infectious diseases prevention and control, diagnoses and treatment of infectious diseases, human infection, bacterial infection, viral infection, immunology and vacinology, parasitic diseases, human nutritional disorders and dietary therapy, vector borne diseases.
Much of my work focuses on infectious diseases, how they spread through populations and how they can be controlled. I have expertise on area of Arboviruses and parasites, pathogen transmission, and PCR-based methods for pathogen screening, Infectious diseases prevention and control, Immunology and vacinology, Advanced laboratory diagnostic and Research Technichues ,Health project planning, Monitoring and evaluation, ,Parasitic diseases of medical importance, Infectious diseases Epidemiology, Human Nutritional disorder and dietary therapy, ,Emerging and Re-emerging infectious diseases, Microbial diseases Immunology , Microbiology, Parasitology , Anatomy and Physiology , Biochemistry, Biotechnology, life science laboratory, Cell and Molecular Biology. Biomedical Sciences.

Immune therapy, Gene therapy.
My interest in the biomedical science research lab include the investigation of the cell biological mechanisms behind viral, parasitic and bacterial infection. How bacterial pathogens are able to form long-lived, chronic infections with high levels of tolerance to antibiotics.
In lab, I am interested in understanding the mechanisms of Viral, Parasitic and bacterial infection and phage therapy inside the mammalian cell environment. Bacteriophages or phages are viruses that have great specificity towards targeting their host bacteria and thus can be used as therapeutics to tackle bacterial infections, what defined as phage therapy.
