Mr. Osuwat Lawrence Obado

My current research focus is on breast cancer, studying its genetics, genomics, phenotypes, and epidemiology. Additionally, I have an interest in Evidence-Based Practice- systematic reviews (qualitative & quantitative). I have previously studied malaria, HIV, and Neglected Tropical Diseases, as well as therapeutic phytochemicals
