My goal is to translate research findings into actionable interventions by collaborating with communities, NGOs, and governments. I intend using implementation research to address gaps between interventions and outcomes. My research interests align with advancing global health through partnerships and securing international grants. I through mentorship and team-based research will be able to addressing critical questions related to neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations. With training in molecular biology and diagnostics, I remain competitive in modern research trends. Currently, I am exploring bioinformatics in drug discovery to tackle increasing drug resistance in NTD treatments. Additionally, I seek opportunities to deepen my understanding of parasitic diseases through specialized training. My ultimate goal is to drive innovation beyond traditional research by contributing to drug discovery and improved diagnostic tools tailored to the African context. By combining advanced techniques and interdisciplinary approaches, I aim to create impactful, sustainable solutions for parasitic diseases in underserved populations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Positions and Honors<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\"><strong>Positions and Employment<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2010 &#8211; 2015 Assistant Lecturer<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2015 &#8211; 2023 Lecturer 11<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2023-till date Lecturer 1<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><u>Other Experiences and Professional Memberships<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2021- 2023 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Member, Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, London\u00a0(RSTMH)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2019 -2024 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Course Advisor, Department of Zoology, University of Lagos<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a01999 &#8211; till date \u00a0Member, Parasitology and Public Health Society of Nigeria (PPSN)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2015 \u2013 2021 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0National Treasurer, Parasitology and Public Health Society of Nigeria (PPSN)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2016 \u2013 2019 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Vice Chancellor Representative: Students&#8217; Disciplinary Committee Caleb University, Imota, Lagos<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2015 \u2013 2016 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Coordinator: Department of Biological Sciences And Biotechnology Caleb University, Imota, Lagos<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">April 2013 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Facilitator: Society For Family Health (Sfh) On The Global Fund Round 8 Projects In Nigeria (Malaria Case Management &amp; RDT Training In Oyo, Ekiti &amp; Ogun State Nigeria) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">October 2009 \u00a0Consultant (Technical Assistant): \u00a0National Malaria Control Programme-Long-Lasting Insecticide Nets Campaign (Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Balyelsa, Enugu &amp; Ondo States) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Selected Peer-reviewed Publications <\/strong><\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gyang, V.
