Research interests

My Research interest is two fold, Firstly,Vaccine strain development ( Generate molecular clones of African swine fever (ASF) virus strains endogenous to Cameroon that can be developed into future vaccine)  and Secondly , Biomaker discovery  (Develop a rational approach for the design of immunomodulators. It is envisioned that these modulators can potentially be used to direct the immune response mounted by a domestic pig following ASF infection to become more similar as the immune response from a pig that survived ASF virus infection, a bush pig or warthog boar. The latter two remain asymptomatic during ASF virus infection.
