Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Patience Okoto's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes, with recent work investigating peptide synthesis and purification for potential therapeutic applications, including antiviral peptides targeting SARS-CoV-2. Okoto also studies fibroblast growth factors, exploring their roles and emerging therapeutic potential, as well as their overexpression and purification. Another area of investigation involves the structural dynamics of intrinsically disordered protein regions, specifically in the context of the Albino3 insertase. Additionally, Okoto's work examines metabolic changes and cellular quality control mechanisms in the context of anorexia nervosa, utilizing rat models to understand the effects on muscle metabolism. Okoto has published 17 papers, with an h-index of 4 and 34 total citations. Key collaborators include Suresh Thallapuranam and Thallapuranam Krishnaswamy Suresh Kumar from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
