Investigates host immune-microbiome interactions longitudinally in autoimmune diseases using novel Microneedle patches to uncover the underlying cross-regulatory mechanisms.
Ashok's research focuses on the interplay of the immune system in various diseases. His previous experience includes non-invasive detection of cancers from liquid biopsies utilizing immune cell signatures and antimicrobial studies against lower respiratory pathogens like influenza and pneumococci. Ashok is currently working on longitudinal monitoring of the immune-microbiome interface in autoimmune skin diseases using the novel microneedle skin patches.
