Collaborations
In academic collaboration, synergy emerges, empowering researchers to achieve more collectively than individually
Throughout my career, I have been committed to research capacity development in pharmaceutical sciences. From introducing pharmacognosy to undergraduate curricula to championing natural products and phytomedicine research, I have pioneered transformative initiatives. Notable achievements include securing a prestigious DSI-NRF Research Chair and mentoring doctoral candidates to academic success. I have developed several national and international collaborations and introduced new research topics through workshops, seminars, and publication retreats.
