Channakeshava S. Umeshappa

Dr. Channakeshava S. Umeshappa is a faculty member in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology and Department of Pediatrics at Dalhousie University, Canada. He holds a PhD in Immunology from the University of Saskatchewan and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Calgary.

• Education: DVM (Karnataka Veterinary Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, India), MVSc (Indian Veterinary Research Institute, India), PhD (University of Saskatchewan, Canada)

Research Interests: Dr. Umeshappa’s program focuses on immunoregulation in chronic diseases, particularly autoimmunity and cancer. His lab employs genetically modified murine models, omics, synthetic biology, flow cytometry, and imaging to develop immunotherapies. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration with clinicians and scientists.

Article Trends: Recent publications highlight nanomedicine applications in autoimmune liver disease (e.g., peptide-MHC nanomedicines, invariant NKT cell reprogramming) and cancer therapy (e.g., laser-responsive nanoparticles, tumor-to-lymph gels). Studies span immuno-informatics, cell signaling, and clinical outcomes analysis.
