Dr. Tchilabalo Bouyo | Microbiology | Research Impact Award

University of Lomé | Togo

Dr. Tchilabalo Bouyo is a Biological Engineer and early-career researcher specializing in molecular bacteriology, natural product chemistry, and antimicrobial resistance. With demonstrated experience in laboratory management and applied microbiological research, he has developed strong expertise in DNA extraction, PCR-based detection, and molecular characterization of pathogenic organisms. His analytical proficiency spans RStudio, SPSS, Excel, and GraphPad Prism, enabling robust statistical analysis data visualization and quality assurance in biomedical research. His background includes impactful roles at Centro Investigacion Biomedica and Infirmerie NDE Tokion Séminaire where he contributed to microbiological diagnostics antimicrobial resistance identification and laboratory quality compliance.Bouyo’s research output includes seven scientific documents consisting of journal articles experimental studies and preprints indexed in Scopus Clarivate and Crossref with 1 citation and an h-index of 1 reflecting a growing and internationally visible academic trajectory. A cornerstone of his scholarly contribution is the 2025 article Clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis published in Antimicrobial Resistance  Infection Control. This influential work provides comprehensive evidence on antibiotic resistance trends across Africa contributing to global policy discussions and antimicrobial stewardship strategies.In parallel Bouyo has extensively investigated phytochemicals toxicity profiles and antimicrobial properties of medicinal plants widely used in traditional medicine in Togo and West Africa. His studies on species such as Pteleopsis suberosa Piliostigma thonningii Calotropis procera Anchomanes difformis and Tetrapleura tetraptera highlight the therapeutic potential of indigenous flora and support the scientific validation of ethnopharmacological practices. These works have appeared in journals such as Scientific Reports Journal of Applied Biotechnology and Chemical Science International Journal.Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across Africa Asia and South America Bouyo contributes to global research networks in natural product drug discovery antimicrobial resistance surveillance and evidence-based traditional medicine. His work advances public health by bridging laboratory science cultural knowledge systems and modern biomedical innovation reinforcing his commitment to impactful and socially relevant global health research.
