Molecular biologist with a keen interest in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb) genetics research

Profile Summary

I have interests in medical science literature writing, medical laboratory diagnostic technology as well as health science research particularly molecular biology. I’m particularly interested in advancing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) molecular research, finding out the implication of Mtb genetics in its pathophysiology and how this leads to it evading human immunity. I am also piqued with the way the bug’s genomic molecules (DNA and RNA) contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Hence my research interests evolve around all aspects of the microorganisms’ molecular genomic analysis.
