Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology
The researcher's overall research focus is centered on advancing our understanding of complex clefts, dental anomalies, and related health issues across multiple domains. Their work integrates genetics, oral health, and other specialized fields to explore genetic loci and pathways contributing to these conditions. For instance, rare variants in the peridermopathy syndromes (Van der Woude syndrome) are investigated for their functional impact on facial features, while efforts also address missing linkages between genetic variations and cleft-related phenotypes. Additionally, the researcher explores the interplay of environmental factors with c left development, such as dietary patterns and maternal nutrition, in Ghana. Their work emphasizes the importance of rare variants in explaining syndromic traits and their distribution across populations. Furthermore, they examine the role of epigenetic modifications like RNA changes in genetic disease causation, particularly linking them to conditions such as heart health in North wandering African adults. Through these diverse approaches—genetics, genetics, oral health, genetics again, dental health, rare variants, environmental factors, syndromes, and diseases—the researcher contributes to a holistic understanding of complex clefts and their management. Their work also highlights the potential for improving healthcare outcomes by better addressing genetic risk factors in populations with conditions like malnutrition or lipoprotein disorders.
