A Biochemist whose research focuses on nutritional biochemistry, cancer biology, metabolic disorders, malaria, toxicology, environmental health, and biotechnology. My research explores the biochemical mechanisms underlying disease development and prevention, with particular interests in diabetes, oxidative stress, chemoprevention, biomaterials, and sustainable biotechnological applications. I have authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals, including Scopus-indexed outlets, and actively engage in interdisciplinary research addressing contemporary health and environmental challenges. Research Interests: Nutritional Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, Toxicology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, Environmental Health, Biotechnology, Biomaterials, Nanomedicine, and Oxidative Stress.
