The researcher's work centers around comprehensive studies in blood disorders, particularly focusing on iron metabolism, platelet function, and hemoglobinopathies. Their publications span clinical laboratory practices, including reference interval development in hematological tests, assessment of platelet indices and activation markers in children with malaria, investigation of buffer substitution effects, examination of antierythropoietin production associations with Malaria, and detailed analysis of Malaria staining practices. They also explored hemoglobinopathies, such as the effect of reference intervals on hemoglobin parameters, genetic influence on hemoglobin levels in sickle cell disease, level association with sickle cell anemia, expression patterns of enzymes in various blood disorders like lymphoma, HIV-positive patients, and leukemia, molecular characterization of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase genes, and the role of water quality assessment. Their research encompasses the development of reference intervals, studies on platelets and their glycoproteins, critical reviews of anti-retroviral drug adherence models in HIV-positive patients, and interventions for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hemoglobinopathies in children.
