Am interested in

1.   Development of an animal model and accelerated development of a DNA vaccine for SARS-CoV-2

2.   immune therapy for COVID-19

3.   Use of Stem cells isolated from umbilical cord in treatment of HIV. Possible role of stem cells derived from umbilical cord in inducing immunomodulation in infected cells with HIV that could change latency period through different immunological markers and change in protein expression of cells. Stems cells may play crucial activity in HIV propagation and mediate latency reactivation which may be beneficial as line of therapy.

Special Activities:

1. Adoption many international conferences and meetings about COVID-19 education
