The researcher's overall research focus is centered on antiplatelet mechanisms and the role of Bradykinin and its analogs in blood clotting, with a particular emphasis on how polyphosphates influence antiplatelet activities. Their work includes developing antimicrobial peptides that exhibit lower minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) than their single peptide counterparts, employing hybridization strategies for enhanced efficacy. The researcher also investigates parasitic infections within specific host populations, such as Taenia hydatigena in regions of Ghana, focusing on abattoir surveys to understand local environmental factors influencing infection prevalence. Additionally, the researcher contributes to helminth infection control, particularly Dicrocoelium spp., by analyzing their prevalence and phylogeny in cattle populations from Ghana, highlighting a multidisciplinary approach that spans health sciences, life sciences, human diseases, and agricultural studies.
