Education and training:
Dr. Madhuri Subbiah is a veterinarian by profession and received her Ph.D. in Molecular Virology from University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA in 2010. Dr. Subbiah previously worked as Deputy Manager, Platform Technologies, Anthem Biosciences Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, where she was involved in managing projects from clients as well as developing novel platforms for drug development. She joined NIAB in November 2012.
Research experience and interests:
During her doctoral studies, Dr. Madhuri Subbiah characterized the avian paramyxovirus serotype 2 (APMV-2) strains for the first time and also established reverse genetics system for APMV-2 prototype strain Yucaipa. During her work in the industry, Dr. Madhuri Subbiah together with her team helped develop high throughput mammalian cell-based platforms for screening potential drugs and toxins. Her research interests are to understand the molecular mechanisms of viral pathogenesis, to comprehend host-pathogen interactions and virus evasion of host immune response. Her major focus at NIAB will be to apply this knowledge for developing preventive measures and on-farm viral diagnostics.
