Teaching Experience

 

Courses Developed

  • Molecular Parasitology & Vector Biology (BIO G545)


The course is designed for the students of M.E. Biotechnology and M. Sc. Biological Sciences Final Year. It focuses on the molecular aspects of parasitic infections, on vector biology and their control. It will appeal to students who wish to strengthen their training before embarking upon a research career in Entomology, Parasitology, Molecular Biology or Immunology. The course covers aspects for various diseases like malaria, Kala-Azar, filaria, Dengue, etc. , that are caused by protozoan parasites, bacteria or viruses. The course will focus on the modes of infection, life cycle of organism, infectivity pattern, and methods of diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatments to these diseases. The course will also detail about the life cycle of vectors responsible in transmitting the causative organisms of these diseases and their role in the life cycle of the causative organisms.
