Biography

• Dr.S.Poopathi is an eminent scientist in the field of ‘Medical Entomology’ • Has over 25 years of research and teaching experience in Biomedical research. • He has several years of experience in molecular techniques including DNA-finger printing. • He has several DST and DBT projects sanctioned to his credit as Principle Investigator • The main themes of his research include molecular biological studies on • the purification and characterization of mosquitocidal toxins, B.sphaericus resistant gene identification, identification of novel bacteria from marine resources (sea-shore) for mosquito vector control and in addition recycling the biological wastes from environment and vector surveillance.

Research Interest

Integrated Vector Management and Control (Biological Control). The research area covers: protection from mosquito vectors using deltamethrin impregnated curtains, epidemiology, surveillance, biology, bio-pesticides, mechanism of mode of action, histopathological studies, vector management, development of resistance, resistance management, molecular mechanism of microbial resistance, organo-phosphate resistance, toxicity, bioassays, biochemical-analysis, enzymology, microbial fermentation process, cost-effective technology, solid waste management, biochemical and molecular biological studies on the purification and characterization of mosquitocidal toxins, identification of novel bacteria from environmental sources for mosquito vector control etc. The other area of his interest is on Japanese encephalitis, filariasis, malaria, hemoglobinopathies, scrub typhus and nanoparticles.
