Research interest

Neglected parasitic diseases (NTDs) are prevalent in low and middle-income countries in many regions of the world affecting millions of people living in impoverished communities. Several NTDs are life-threatening, and often cause significant health and economic burdens, especially in developing countries. The majority of parasites have complex life-cycle which requires one or even more than one animals or insects to complete their life cycles. Some parasites have natural animal reservoirs which make effective epidemiological control even more challenging. Additionally, environmental factors also have a great impact on the parasite survival and the pattern of disease transmission, thus the epidemiology of emerging zoonotic parasites has been changed in the past decades. Due to the rarity of the diseases, research and development investments in this sector from pharmaceutical companies or public agencies are limited which hinders the progress in the advancement of drugs and treatment in this area. Elucidation of parasite biology and pathophysiology is crucial for the design of diagnostic tools, prevention measures, and effective therapy, which are the main research focus of our group. SiCNPD aims to bring the advancement in biomedical science to tackle parasitic infections timely and effectively for a better life of the neglected population without boundary. Our area of interest includes but is not limited to understanding the basic fundamentals to frontiers research in parasitic diseases including free-living ameba infection, filariasis, sparganosis, and cysticercosis. Our group focus on using cutting-edge technologies, i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, stem cell-based organoids, organ-on-a chip, and artificial intelligence to find a better way for diagnosis, control, and treatment of NTDs. Given well-being of every human life, we believe there should be no one neglected.
