Biography:

Dr. Theresia Njuabe Metoh is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Bamenda, Cameroon. She holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Yaounde and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese CDC, Shanghai. Her research focuses on malaria molecular epidemiology, particularly the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum, antimalarial drug resistance, and the development of adjunct therapies. She has characterized polymorphic markers to understand parasite population structure and transmission dynamics, providing key insights into vaccine design and malaria control strategies. Dr. Metoh’s work integrates molecular surveillance with field studies to address persistent malaria transmission in endemic regions. She has extensive experience mentoring young researchers and actively participates in international collaborations, aligning her research with the global fight against malaria.
