Ngalamulume's research centers on West African health history, examining colonial medicine's impact through epidemics and environmental contamination. His seminal work 'Colonial Pathologies' (2012) analyzes Saint-Louis-du-Senegal between 1867-1920, while his co-edited volume 'Medicine in Africa' (2010) offers multidisciplinary perspectives. Current investigations explore sexually-transmitted diseases in colonial Senegal and Baluba-Lulua tribal formation in Belgian Congo. He teaches global health histories, urban history, witchcraft social history, and African economic development frameworks.
