Education:  He obtained his PhD at University of Saskatchewan, where he studied the host-pathogen interaction, innate immunity and TLR signalling. Using various molecular and immunological approaches he characterized the role, expression and signalling pathway of human toll-like receptor 10, known as ‘orphan receptor’ of innate immunity.

Activities:   Cricket, travelling and reading.
