Dr. Dhruba Acharya is a Research Fellow at the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, Griffith University, affiliated with the Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics. His academic appointments include current research positions at Griffith University since 2022, with previous roles as a Teaching Assistant in microbiology and cell biology courses.
Education:
- PhD, Griffith University (2015-2020)
- M.Sc. Immunology, Mahidol University (2009-2011)
- B.Sc. Medical Lab Technology, Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University (2003-2006)
Research Focus: Dr. Acharya specializes in host-pathogen interactions, with emphasis on therapeutic development for viral infections (SARS-CoV-2, RSV) and bacterial pathogenesis (Streptococcus agalactiae, E. coli). His work integrates nanotechnology, immunology, and drug delivery systems, particularly focusing on siRNA therapeutics, extracellular vesicles, and vaccine platforms.
Publication Trends: Recent articles demonstrate advanced work in antiviral nanotherapeutics (75% of recent publications), including siRNA delivery systems and vaccine development for respiratory viruses. Bacterial pathogenesis studies (25%) explore virulence mechanisms of streptococcal and enteric pathogens, with consistent focus on immune modulation and diagnostic methods.
Laboratory Affiliations: Active member of Griffith University's Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics research group, contributing to infectious disease and immunology projects aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).
