Research interests
I have had a rich research experience studying the effects of prebiotics, probiotics and other alternatives to antibiotics on broiler growth. Most of my work focussed on looking for evidence of their enhanced health and performance in the morphological modulations of gut, immune and musculoskeletal tissues.
More recently, I have developed interest in educational research, and more specifically in exploring the professional identity formation in veterinary students and professionals. Though this is a more recent development, but I am keen on developing myself and collaborating with peers in this direction.
