Timothy Kegode Mugodo

<p><strong>Research project</strong>: phytochemicals, volatiles and bioactivity of Apis mellifera propolis from different regions in Kenya</p> <p>Timothy is a DRIP MSc Scholar supervised by Dr. Michael Lattorff (<em>icipe</em>) and Dr. Joel Bargul (<em>icipe</em>/JKUAT). His research interest is in propolis, including their difference&nbsp;in phytochemicals, volatile composition and their bioactivity&nbsp;(antibacterial and antioxidant activities) for their potential application in pharmaceutical and food industry. Timothy is currently researching on the phytochemicals&nbsp;and bioactivities of propolis from six different&nbsp;geographical&nbsp;and climatic&nbsp;conditions in Kenya in&nbsp;order to come&nbsp;up with how climate and vegetation affects the composition of propolis across.</p> <p>Timothy&nbsp;completed his BSc studies in Biochemistry at The University of Nairobi, and he is currently registered for a MSc Biochemistry at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.</p>
