Background
I am currently the acting Head of the Department for Veterinary Basic Sciences and Examination officer for the School of Veterinary Sciences. My current research interest is the molecular basis of reproductive challenges in domestic animals (particularly bovines) and, the use of ethnoveterinary practices in controlling and preventing diseases and parasites of domestic animals.
Area of Specialization: Reproductive Physiology and Molecular Genetics.
