Praveen Rao Juvvadi works on various aspects of Fungal Cell Biology, Growth and Development in relation to Fungal pathogenesis and drug response mechanisms. Experimental model systems primarily used include Aspergillus species.
His main research interests include:
-Molecular and medical mycology, antifungal resistance, and fungal virulence mechanisms.
-Basic, translational, and clinical research centered on human fungal pathogens and invasive fungal diseases in immunocompromised patients.
-Studies on the human fungal pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus, known to cause invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients.
-Understanding the calcineurin signaling pathway, identifying novel targets for structure-based drug design approaches for the development of novel antifungals for clinical benefit.
-Understanding the role of Calcineurin in Aspergillus fumigatus hyphal growth and Septation.
