Dr. Gupta’s research interests include veterinary epidemiology, zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, biosecurity, animal disease surveillance, public health, and One Health. He employs advanced modeling techniques such as risk factor modeling, infectious disease spread modeling, structural equation modeling, and spatial analysis using tools like R, STATA, ArcGIS, and NVivo. His work emphasizes practical, actionable solutions for disease prevention and control in both animal and human populations.
His recent publications span topics including avian influenza, antimicrobial resistance, epilepsy burden, and novel vaccine development. These works reflect a strong trend in applying epidemiological modeling to zoonotic and infectious diseases, with a geographic focus on Bangladesh and the Asia-Pacific region. His research bridges veterinary science, public health, and digital innovation in disease surveillance.

Dr. Gupta has supervised PhD students as principal and co-supervisor and has contributed to teaching veterinary epidemiology, biosecurity, and public health. He has developed innovative educational tools, including a web-based FMD outbreak simulation for veterinary students and training materials for field veterinarians across the Asia-Pacific. He has also led training programs for biosecurity officers in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and CSU Biosecurity Training Centre. His research is supported by international collaborations with FAO, USAID, and other global health organizations.
He is actively involved in the development of biosecurity training materials for diverse stakeholders including commercial and backyard poultry farmers, live bird market personnel, and community members. His work with the FAO advisory panel on avian influenza highlights his international recognition. He continues to lead research on diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, bluetongue, and Q fever, aiming to translate findings into policy and practice.
