Dr. Mohammed Dauda Goni is a Senior Lecture and researcher at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan with a strong focus on bacterial vaccines and innovative disease management strategies in aquaculture funded through Fundamental Research Grant of Malaysia's Higher Education Ministry. His current work addresses the challenge of Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) in shrimp, caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio harveyi, through the development of nanoparticle-based vaccine candidates functionalized with herbal compounds. His research combines immunology, vaccinology, and microbiology to enhance both innate and adaptive immune responses, promoting long-term protection in shrimp against bacterial pathogens. With expertise in epidemiology, immunoassays, and nanotechnology, Dr. Goni’s work has significant implications for the aquaculture industry and the development of novel veterinary vaccines. He is also involved in teaching veterinary epidemiology and public health, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence in disease prevention strategies. Dr. Goni is keen on collaborating with experts in vaccinology, bacterial pathogenesis, and immunology to further advance the development of innovative vaccine solutions.
