Experience: My research areas include the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson diseases, Alzheimers disease, Huntington disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Research has it that these neurodegenerative diseases have similar pathogenesis, that is, causes involve accumulation of proteins, faulty autophagy and improper cytosolic intracellular transport. I am, therefore, interested in research to improve the intracellular transport, stimulate autophagy, hydrolysing faulty proteins and preventing their accumulation of these proteins. Furthermore in my research interests is the use of natural derived antioxidants to ameliorate and prevent the progression of these neurodegenerative diseases.
I also have interest in investigating the deteriorative effects of malnutrition on the nervous system, as a whole and see the corrective measures, using several nutrients, to reverse the effects of neurological symptoms posed by malnutrition on the neural system.
Environmental toxicity of the nervous system also arouses my interest as humans are exposed to toxic substances like lead, zinc, pesticides, and fertilizers, domestic and industrial wastes almost on daily basis. The effects of these toxins are debilitating on the brain thereby affecting whole body system.
The use of antipsychotics are also in wide range recently and little results have been achieved in bringing patients to pre-disease states, I therefore, have interest in seeing how genetic approaches could be used to detect causes of neuropsychiatric diseases and produce a better therapy for patients suffering from several psychiatric disease.
