My name is James Hayola and I am an academician working as an Assistant lecturer in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). I am a holder of Master of Science in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (2020), and Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and Laboratory Sciences (2013) both from Sokoine University of Agriculture.
My research interest is to investigate mechanisms of drug resistance in Tuberculosis (TB) and Breast cancer (BC). In TB for example, I am interested in studying mutations conferring resistance to anti-TB drugs. In BC, I am interested in studying a sub-type of this disease called Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) which is one of breast cancer types that is difficult to treat and/or cure despite early diagnosis as it lacks receptors which act as therapeutic targets. My interest is to see if I can find molecular markers that can help in the design of drugs for the treatment of TNBC.
