Dr. Agieshkumar has more than 15 years of experience in vector borne disease research. During his doctoral work he was involved in exploring the molecular basis of vector-parasite interactions. During his first postdoctoral training at Texas Tech University (USA) he studied the role of sphingolipids in the virulence of Leishmaniasis. His second stint of postdoctoral training at the Dept of cellular biology, University of Georgia (USA) gained him training on RNA interference mediated gene silencing in vectors. His expertise includes Molecular cloning, microinjection and homologous recombination methods. He started his career as Assistant professor in the School of Chemical and Biotechnology (SCBT), SASTRA University (Deemed), India. There apart from teaching to B.Tech, M.tech and M.Sc students in various areas of Biotechnology, he had mentored students for UG and PG dissertations, and PhD degree. He has received extramural funding from National agencies; DBT, ICMR. He has published several high quality papers in peer reviewed Journals including Plos NTDs, Plos One, IUBMB life, JCV, IJID, Green chemistry etc.,. Dr. Agiesh joined CIDRF in 2015 and is currently researching on “Lipids in the pathogenesis of dengue virulence& biomarker identification for early prediction of severe dengue”. He has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Entomology, UK (2019).
