Ms. Mulalo Molaudzi

Mulalo Molaudzi is a researcher in oral health sciences and molecular pathology whose work bridges dental research and cancer biology. With publications in regional and international journals, the research portfolio reflects a strong grounding in laboratory diagnostics, microbiology, and translational approaches to disease investigation, particularly within the South African clinical context.

A central focus of the research is the role of microRNA expression in squamous cell carcinoma, examining molecular signatures linked to tumor differentiation and lymphovascular invasion. This work highlights the prognostic potential of specific microRNAs and integrates histopathological features with molecular profiling, contributing to a more refined understanding of tumor behavior and risk stratification.

Additional studies explore applied microbiology in oral health, including denture disinfection, toothbrush contamination, and cost-effective antimicrobial strategies, as well as molecular diagnostics for pleural tuberculosis. Based on the available body of publications, the scholarship demonstrates emerging expertise in clinical laboratory methods and a commitment to improving diagnostic and preventive practices in resource-conscious settings.
