About

I am an active, passionate researcher with over 15 years of experience in aquaculture and fish health management. Top 2% of Scientists globally (Stanford/Elsevier). I have learned Transcriptomic, Proteomic, Cellular biology, Histology, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy techniques for characterizing immunological responses in fish and shrimp to diseases.
