Biography
Emmanuel Mukwevho is a trained Biochemist, Molecular Biologist and Cell Biologist trained from University of Cape Town, South Africa. He is currently employed at the University of North West, South Africa where he teaches Biochemistry. His research is mainly on Diabetes and Obesity, where he focuses on Lipid metabolism and Glucose transport. As such mitochondrial oxidative genes are studied together with glucose transport related genes. The research focus is to find novel therapeutics that can better manage or treat these health conditions. Since antioxidants play crucial role in the development and pathogenesis of these diseases, we also focus on antioxidants properties both in plants and chemical compounds.
