Biography:
Dr.Chet Raj Ojha is from Microbiologist HIV unit, National Public Health Laboratory, Teku, Nepal. Graduated from Florida International University, College of Medicine. Under the mentorship of Dr. Nazira El-Hage, our research was focused on exploring the molecular mechanism underlying the neurological complications of neurotropic viruses such as HIV and Zika virus particularly on defining the role of the autophagy pathway in the neuropathogenesis mediated by viruses. As a postdoctoral researcher, I am working on understanding the mechanism of Influenza virus pathogenesis and development.
Subjects of specialization: Zika virus pathogenesis, Neurological Diseases, influenza viruses, Viral Immunology, Autophagy
