Research Interests
My research interests involve identification, characterization and validation of biomarkers
of malaria severity in sickle cell disease to guide the discovery of new diagnostics,
prognostics and drug targets. The impact of this research is immense and will benefit
both malaria and sickle cell patients.
I am also involved in research in women's health and disparities. My research goal
is to find a non-invasive method for early diagnosis of endometriosis.
