Biography: I hold a BSc. Hons. in Applied Biology and Biochemistry, MSc. in Biotechnology, and a PhD in Molecular Biology. My research interests are in the field of Mycobacterial metallomics and metabolomics, that is, the development of effective metal-containing agents (including metallic nanoparticles and metal complexes) to inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the evaluation of the metabolic effects of the metal-containing agents on the pathogen, and the subsequent identification of metabolites produced as a result of the exposure to the metal-containing agents.
