| Biography | ||
| Arif Hussain is a post-doctoral fellow at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He is a trained microbiologist with an expertise on molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant pathogens. Arif did his graduation and post-graduation in the subject of Biotechnology (University of Mysore, India). During his Ph.D. (University of Hyderabad) he worked in the field of molecular epidemiology of extraintestinal E. coli infections in humans and has published his work in peer-reviewed journals of good repute. Arif was also associated with the Indo-German research training group. Currently is working on projects related to public health concerns particularly, the food safety, this project was approved by the Indian funding body UGC.
