Research Experience

Research Interest and Activities

My main research is tailored in the field of neurosciences with emphasis on using nutritional dietary supplements on neurodegenerative diseases. My overall research aim is to contribute significantly to understanding the mechanism and pathways involved in neuronal degeneration.

My previous research activities specifically examine how environmental toxicants pose significant effects on the body system specifically the nervous system. Overexposure to several environmental toxicants has shown to cause behavioral impairments, neuronal degeneration, and neuroglia damage to both developed and developing brains. Hence my research could help advance the understanding of the interplay between environmental toxicants and neurodegenerative disorders and the potential role of nutritional supplements as a treatment regimen.

My current research focuses on the understanding of relevant mechanisms involved in neuroprotection and regeneration following central nervous system damage leading to the development of a gene therapy strategy for neurodegeneration thereby evaluating the role of autophagy and calcium influx in axonal degeneration and regeneration as well as neuronal survival using in vitro and in vivo models of neurodegeneration.

Research Skills and Techniques Rodent (mice and rats) models, C. elegans model, behavioural analysis, histology, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, qPCR analysis, rodent brain dissection, rodent stereotaxic injection, microscopy (brightfield, fluorescence, confocal, and electron), digital image analysis (with Image J, QuantCenter), biostatistics
