Biography
Sabikun uses molecular genetic techniques to study the parasites Neospora caninum, Tritrichomonas, and Leishmania. She uses PCR- Taqman- and Sequence-based detection strategies to genotype Neospora caninum in tissue samples, distinguish among different species of rodent Tritrichomonas parasites, and NMAS-Seq approaches to genotype different strains of Leishmania causing human infection. Through these projects, she contributes to broader efforts to better understand parasite diversity and improve molecular methods used in research and detection.
