  Personal Statement

Professor Alaribe is a Medical Laboratory Scientist with bias in Medical Microbiology and Parasitology. His primary interest is on malaria transmission, diagnosis and control. Major research acccomplishments include Malaria vector surveillance and Molecular Characterization. Antimalaria Sensitivity Testing, Dynamics of malaria Transmission in Cross River State.

His background knowledge of Molecular Etymology is driving the current transformation of graduate students research to a molecular approach and initiative in the Department. His roles in many public health research projects epitomises his involvement in filariasis epidemiology. He teaches Medical Parasitology and laboratory techniques to both undergraduate and post graduate students.
