Fidele Ntie-Kang

Fidele Ntie-Kang is a researcher at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, affiliated with the Faculty of Natural Sciences I - Biosciences, Institute of Pharmacy, and the Medicinal Chemistry research group. His work bridges traditional African medicine and modern drug discovery methodologies.

His research focuses on medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, particularly from African medicinal plants. He aims to develop a searchable online database of natural products from Central Africa, including 3D structures, physicochemical properties, and bioactivity data to accelerate drug development. His work integrates ethnobotanical knowledge with computational modeling and in vitro/in vivo validation.

Dr. Ntie-Kang is actively involved in epigenetic drug discovery targeting Schistosoma mansoni, focusing on enzymes like smHDAC8, Sirtuins, and methyltransferases. By leveraging structural differences between parasite and human enzymes, his research seeks to design selective inhibitors for schistosomiasis treatment.
