Biography

I am a passionate researcher who specializes in disease mechanisms and their pathologic basis. I have emphasized on the need and developed a structure for scoring of lesions for better pathological diagnoses. I am interested in pathology of infectious diseases and molecular basis of carcinogenesis.
