His research focuses on HIV-related neurological complications, vascular pathology in stroke patients, and cardiovascular disease mechanisms in South African populations.

Key research interests include HIV-associated vasculopathy, carotid intima-media thickness analysis, and the interplay between HIV status and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. His work emphasizes epidemiological patterns in HIV-endemic regions and innovative diagnostic approaches for neurological conditions like optic neuritis.

Recent studies highlight underdiagnosed cardioembolic stroke mechanisms and the impact of aortic stiffness on blood pressure dynamics. His publications often address clinical management challenges, such as mercury toxicity in informal miners and acute stroke management protocols in resource-limited settings.
