Dr. P.K. Patil

Obtaining doctorate in Veterinary Virology in 2000; worked in state animal husbandry department, poultry industry and Agriculture University before joining ICAR-CIBA in 2009. Current research interests include immunology, vaccinology, environmental microbiology and aquaculture medicine. Presently I am involved in the development of technologies for aquatic animal health management and bioremediation. In aquatic animal health economics, we have estimated the economic loss due to major diseases of penaeid shrimp in the country. Other significant activities involve institute technology management, commercialization, consultancy services to industries and entrepreneurship development. I am engaged in providing technical advice to government departments in aquaculture inputs, regulations and food safety
