I conducted research studies in collaboration with public health agencies to target vectors of arboviral diseases.
My research interest encompasses the investigation into novel measures and strategies to control the arboviral vector Aedes aegypti. I am also focused on the development of alternative agents to combat resistant populations of Aedes aegypti.
Another research project that I am focused on involves the investigation into the contributing factors for Hypertension in the Africa-descendent population of Barbados.
