Research Focus ππ¦
Temuulen Dorjsurenβs research focuses on medical parasitology, with a specialization in echinococcosisβa serious zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus tapeworms. His studies involve molecular identification, epidemiology, and serology of parasitic infections in Mongolia. He investigates the risk factors, transmission patterns, and control strategies for cystic and alveolar echinococcosis. His work also extends to diagnostic innovations using machine learning, improving early detection methods. Through interdisciplinary research and global collaborations, he aims to develop effective disease control policies to mitigate the public health impact of parasitic infections in Mongolia and beyond.
