Research summary:
I work on epidemiological aspects, motivated by evolutionary or immunological hypotheses concerning infectious diseases and their transmission, using data and statistical concepts. My main interests are summarized below:
1) Understanding HIV-1 transmission and the major differences between the two main HIV-1 transmission risk groups, viz., men who have sex with men (MSM) and heterosexuals.
2) Investigating the factors responsible for the differences in SARS-CoV-2 disease severity between infected individuals.

Research summary:
My research focuses on the heterogeneity of immune responses at different scales. We are interested to explore the causes of cell-to-cell variation in the activation of innate immune signalling pathways. I am also associated with ongoing projects in the lab on the origins and implications of heterogeneous proliferation potentials in an isoclonal population of naive lymphocytes. As our COVID-19 response, we have devised a simplified modelling framework, validated by diverse clinical datasets, to explain the extreme inter-individual variation in the clinical outcome of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further, we are exploring the effects of different SARS-CoV-2 strains and vaccines on the populations in different countries. My skills include mathematical modelling of dynamic systems, analysis of large scale clinical and -omic datasets, and random grinning.
