Research Projects (Current and Past)
Currently, my research is focused on factors (environmental effects: lifestyle, diet, electrolytes (im)balance etc.) on the development of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and/ or Prostate Cancer in men.
Screening of natural products for their anti-BPH or anti-prostate cancer properties for further development into adjuvant treatments or alternative primary treatments for BPH and/ prostate cancer.
Previous Research
- Bag-1L as a therapeutic target in the treatment of prostate cancer
- Single molecular resolution detailed studies of the mechanism by which Bag-1L regulate Androgen receptor binding to chromatin
- Nucleophosmin 1, a key regulator of Bag-1L and Androgen receptor action in prostate cancer cell proliferation
- Effect of HIV infection and Anti-retroviral therapy on semen quality of HIV-infected men
