My research has contributed to the progress in Life Sciences and the resultant innovations have improved of human life by tackling the bottleneck in current diagnostic testing platforms. Working in the field of diagnostics, my research has contributed to improving management strategies for diagnostics and surveillance of various infectious and genetic diseases, enabling rapid, accurate, sensitive, inexpensive, and point- of-care diagnosis. The multi- disciplinary efforts in the development of assays provide users with portable multi-sensor detection technologies that are able to give quick preventive actions and early diagnoses to ensure the quality of life now and in the future. I have filed various propriety technologies, specialising in providing affordable point-of-care tests, ambient temperature-stable end-point PCR, multiplex real-time PCR and biosensor tests. Besides working in the university environment, I am also involved in licensing and am a consultant to industrial partners to help generate income for the university and country through the commercialisation of my research products.
