After completing his studies in Life Sciences, specializing in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Bioinformatics, at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, Mr Wokam returned to Cameroon with a clear mission: to contribute his expertise to the advancement of life sciences. Armed with cutting-edge knowledge in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, and Bioinformatics, he sought to join the country’s leading research efforts. This journey led him to collaborate with Dr. Justin Nono and his exceptional team, widely recognized as one of the best in the field in Cameroon.
Currently, as a Research Assistant at the IBHI Lab, Mr Wokam leverage his extensive skill to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the human host response to Schistosoma mansoni infection. Specifically, he focuses on screening differentially expressed genes—spanning RNA, ncRNA, LcRNA, and miRNA—that play critical roles in the immune response. Through this work, he is contributing to groundbreaking research that has the potential to shape global health strategies and improve disease management in endemic regions.
