Bio

Neglected tropical diseases (amongst which are onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis) blight the lives of a billion people worldwide and threaten the health of millions more. Human onchocerciasis is a highly debilitating disease and the second leading infectious cause of blindness globally after trachoma. I am interested in the discovery and development of drugs and control tools against neglected tropical diseases with a focus on onchocerciasis. Various approaches used include de novo (from natural products), drug re-purposing and understanding the mode of action of drugs that target ion channels.
