Vignesh Shetty

Postdoctoral Fellow

I am a clinical microbiology and immunology specialist with extensive experience in infectious disease research. My work focuses on pathogen genomics, therapeutic strategies, and diagnostic innovations, with a strong emphasis on global health and translational research. My research interests include molecular diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance, microbial genomics, the human microbiome, and host-pathogen interactions.

I particularly enjoy translating research findings into real-world applications that enhance public health on a global scale. Whether developing novel diagnostic tools or assessing the effectiveness of treatments and vaccines, I find fulfillment in knowing that my work can make a tangible impact.

Looking ahead, I am keen to expand my research to include more personalized approaches to infectious disease diagnostics, surveillance, treatment, and prevention. My goal is to lead projects that integrate genomics with clinical data to better predict and address emerging threats. Ultimately, I aim to contribute to the global fight against infectious diseases by creating innovative, effective, and accessible solutions.
