Research Interests
My main research interests are in computational complexity and computational molecular biology, with emphases on
- anti malarial drugs design and development;
- PCR detection of malaria at the liver stage;
- anti-malaria drugs resistance mechanism;
- combined anti malarial drugs development;
- characterizing the malaria parasite transcription factors and their DNA binding sites using a holistic probabilistic framework;
- 3D Structures prediction and structures based drug discovery;
- computational identification of functional modules in Plasmodium falciparum;
- organisms inter-pathways analysis using the microarray data,
- insecticides design and development and recently
- Human genetics
Based on the above, there are presently four divisions under CUBRE, namely The Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) projects coordinating, Bioinformatics for Public Health, Computational Oncology and Network Modelling and Entomology and Data Management. Members of CUBRE are into these four divisions as the following.
