Hey there!
Investigating host-virus interactions & arboviral pathogenesis_
Hi, I’m Abhisek — a Senior Research Fellow from Bhubaneswar, India, with a background in biotechnology, bioinformatics, and microscopy. I am currently working at BRIC-ILS where I investigate host-virus interactions, focusing on arboviruses and their mechanisms of replication and spread. I am interested in viral evolution, pathogenesis, and the development of antiviral strategies. Outside the lab, I enjoy reading, photography, hiking, and who doesn't love video games?

Hi, I’m Abhisek — a Senior Research Fellow working in Host-Virus Interactions lab, under the supervision of Dr. Gulam Hussain Syed at BRIC- Institute of Life Sciences, BBSR.
My current research leverages advanced genetic engineering and microscopy techniques to explore host-virus interactions with respect to the arboviruses. I am interested in understanding how these viruses manipulate host cellular machineries for their own replication and spread, and how we can leverage this knowledge to develop effective antiviral therapies and interventions.
