Profile

Dr. Anil Verma is interested in investigating various factors associated with asymptomatic malaria and characterisation of immune response in people having asymptomatic malaria in endemic areas. His future plan is to evaluate new, low-cost, point of care malaria diagnostic devices, which can be used in remote tribal areas with limited resources.
