Tirwomwe Michael

Assistant Lecturer

Michael is a hard working Biochemist, Teacher and Dental officer, with interest in various areas of teaching and research, that include Dentistry, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry and Education.

He has been lecturing in different universities since 2006, giving Him vast experience in the education sector. Learning is a life process and so He believes any time is a good time to acquire new skills and knowledge.

Being a type 1 Diabetic since the age of 5, He has picked up interest in research about the management of type 1 DM, such as the use of plant extracts that contain phytochemicals, in the management of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes predisposes one to Neuropathy, Retinopathy, Nephropathy and other diseases such as Tuberculosis, and this has widened His scope of research interest into the above areas, so as to find ways to limiting the damage caused by these conditions.

Michael holds a Master of Science in Biochemistry (2016, kampala International University), Bachelor of Science Chemistry major-Biology minor, with Education (2006, Mbarara University of Science and Technology) and Diploma in Public Health Dentistry (2001, Mulago Paramedical Training Schools).
