reproduction with specialization on arerobic metabolism of goat's spermatozoa.
In December 1997, she joined as Scientist at National Research Centre on
Equines,Hisar. She has worked in different research projects, which include
the work on biochemichal analysis of blood and seminsal plasma in equines.
In her Doctorate degree in Biochemistry at CCS Haryana Agricultural University,
Hisar, she worked on genetic characterization of equine breeds using microsatellite
markers. Her primary area of interest is to find genetic relatedness and
distancing among various indigenous equine breeds in order to draw a base
line for characterizing them for conservation purpose.
- Molecular markers based parentage testing in horses of Indian origin.
- Development of improved diagnostics against important viral and bacterial
diseases of equines
Sub Project
a. Development of diagnostic(s) for pathogenic Streptococcus equi
in equines
- Studies on high-level drug resistant bacteria in equines for search
of sentinel microbes to use in predictive disease modeling and microbes
with vector potential.
