His research focuses in the fields of clinical medicine, epidemiology, global health, infectious diseases, tropical medicine, and health economics and outcomes research. His interests on tropical snakebite focuses on characterizing its public health burden, clinical presentation, complications and sequelae, and antivenom therapy. Their group conducted the largest RCT comparing two new antivenoms among carpet viper envenomed patients in northern Nigeria and was among the first to confirm the cost-effectiveness of antivenoms especially in the setting of West Africa. He has conducted/published rigorous evidence syntheses, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Currently he is exploring the application of mathematical modeling and spatial epidemiology in the control of snakebite as well as determining the best clinical care options. He is the co-Lead of the Venom Antivenom Research Project (VASP) and the Nigerian Snakebite Research & Intervention Centre (NSRIC) – a member of African Snakebite Research Group and the Scientific Research Partnerships for Neglected Tropical Snakebite (SRPNTS), consortia of institutions working to improve snakebite care and on development of monoclonal antibody therapies against multiple venom toxins from sub-Saharan African snakes.
