Biography
Greanious Alfred Mavondo is a Chemical Pathologist and Lecturer at the National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe. His passion in human pathophysiology and management has led him into the investigation of the malaria pathophysiology in animal models using phytochemicals as alternative treatment for the disease. He has shown that Asiatic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene, is able to ameliorate severe malaria anemia, malaria associated inflammation, malaria oxidative stress, abrogate malaria induced glucose homeostasis derangements with preservation of renal function and electrolyte handling.
