Research/ Projects

  1. Ethno botanical Management of Brown Ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
  2. Essential Oils; Extraction and Chemical Profile Analysis, Determination of their Antimicrobial Activity.
  3. Isolation and characterization of antimalarial compounds from medicinal plants used in Kenya.
  4. Aflatoxins in Maize and Major Cereals, in locally brewed beverages and their raw materials, their Residue Levels in Human Blood and their Impact on the Kenya Agro- Based Economy.

On going Projects
