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 and
- insecticides design and development.
Our works in progress were presented at the technical presentations of the 2012 World Malaria Day held at Covenant University:
