Brief Statement of Research Interest |
An enthusiastic researcher in the field of Entomology, and endeavors to revolutionize the research of Entomology. She has expertise in Apiculture practices and Urban pests. Research in the Entomology Lab is aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interaction in honey bees, and identifying pathogen interaction associated with honey bee colony loss. Pesticides and environmental pollutant effects on honey bee immunity and stress-related genes. Nutrigenomics is an emerging field in apiculture, I am conducting work on the development of artificial feed for honey bees and evaluating their therapeutic effects on honey bee health biomarkers. Urban pests are serious threat to human health and the economy. Research on IPM techniques and Entomopathogenic fungus has been carried out as a biocontrol agent to control urban pest infestation. She is also a British Council Active Citizen Facilitator and Reviewer in Punjab Text Book Board, Punjab. |
