Kulvinder is currently working on the evaluation of the 454 Next Generation Sequencing system for use in a clinical setting, both in the context of genetic diagnostics and for pathogen surveillance. 

Her genetic diagnostics work to date has focused on the use of 454 technology to detect pathogenic variations in genes known to be disrupted in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. 

The pathogen surveillance component of Kulvinder's work involves the development of a simple and rapid 454 workflow for the sequencing of Norovirus samples as a novel detection and prevention system for emerging infections.
