Research Overview & Focus
The researcher has conducted extensive studies focusing on the natural and experimental applications of Cocoa extracts across various health conditions. This includes investigating cocoa's role in mitigating blood pressure (Malaria Research), preventing lipid buildup in neonates (Glaucoma), reducing cardiovascular risks in mothers, and enhancing maternal health outcomes. The research integrates pharmacological and biochemical investigations into diseases like haemoglobin pathies and lipid changes in newborns, as well as natural treatments for conditions such as clefts and pregnant issues.
