معرفی
Arun Dhar is a Professor and Director of the Aquaculture Pathology Lab at the University of Arizona's School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences. His expertise focuses on infectious diseases in aquaculture, particularly shrimp pathogens, virology, and molecular diagnostics. His research combines genomic, histopathological, and field-based approaches to address challenges in shrimp health management and disease control.
Key areas of research include the molecular characterization of shrimp pathogens like Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), the development of rapid diagnostic tools using CRISPR and isothermal amplification, and the genomic selection of disease-resistant shrimp populations. His work spans diverse species such as penaeid shrimp, gourami fish, and oysters, with a focus on emerging viral and bacterial threats.
- Director, Aquaculture Pathology Lab
- Expertise in aquaculture virology, microbiology, and pathology
- Focus on sustainable solutions for shrimp farming diseases
Recent studies highlight innovations in genome editing, viral vector engineering, and the integration of histopathology with molecular diagnostics. His lab collaborates globally to address disease outbreaks and improve diagnostic accuracy in farmed aquatic species.
