About

Professional Summary

My research interests lie in the area of microbiology, biotechnology, molecular biology, specifically the molecular basis of plant-microbe interactions. Presently I am interested in collaborations in research topics that focus on the use of the latest biotechnological tools in studying African indigenous crops and plant pathogens.
