Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Sangam Kandel's research interests include genomic surveillance of viral pathogens and the analysis of microbiome changes in relation to physiological and cognitive health. Kandel has published work on the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, employing long-range PCR primers. Another area of focus is the identification and analysis of microbial communities, as demonstrated by the development of the CAIM tool for microbiome analysis. Kandel has also investigated the impact of chemotherapy treatments, such as cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and paclitaxel, on gut microbiome composition and its correlation with depressive-like behaviors and cognitive function. Further research includes the pathological and evolutionary dynamics of persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections in animal models and phylogenetic analysis of influenza viruses, including H5N1 strains isolated from dairy cattle.
