From a young age, at primary school level, I desired to address issues that were evident in my village and subsequently town and country. Among some relatives, I lost my grandfather to non-hodgkins' lymphoma, at the time all i understood was that he died of Cancer. I could not understand why they weren't able to detect it earlier and treat it before it killed my greatest friend, my grandpa. Over the years, I lost my mother and aunties to this scourge and by the time I was in highschool, I had resolved to understand why so many of my relatives were dying of cancer, to a point where villagers would advise us that we were cursed! To that end and with the support of my highschool Science teachers, and subsequently University teachers, I curved a niche in my career towards understanding and resolving Cancer, especially in Africa and specifically in my family. My University Prof in pharmacology unit, Prof Paul Thornalley, encouraged me to seek non-toxic, affordable medicine for Cancer, and how food (Vegetables) could hold a potential preventative measure against Cancer, and even if explored further, could provide anti-Cancer metabolites that could be researched on in the emerging area of Natraceutical Research. Subsequently at PhD level, I used a set of molecular biology techniques to elucidate the signalling pathways of the familial Cancer syndrome, VHL disease. Over the years I have continued in my research on understanding the Genetics of Cancer, and once I returned to Kenya, to understand the Genetics of Cancer in our population. I also set up an Anti-cancer medicinal plants' Research work, where I am involved in Proposal writing and supervision of my postgraduate students in the undertaking of this most promising Research area, especially for our resource-constrained part of the world.
