RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Ngufor's research focuses on malaria vector biology, vector control, and the prevention of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Her work spans the development, evaluation, and implementation of next-generation vector control tools, insecticide resistance, vector ecology and behaviour, experimental hut trials, molecular and genomic surveillance of malaria vectors, and public health implementation research. She is also interested in translating research evidence into policy and practice to strengthen malaria control programmes and accelerate the development of innovative vector control strategies.
