Science, Msc ("Maîtrise") in Biochemistry, and Natural Compounds ("Cum
laude", 1994, Université de Ouagadougou), Master of Philosophy, MPhil ("Diplôme
d'Etudes Approfondies") in Biochemistry and Food Enzymology ("Cum
laude", 1996, UO), Doctor of Science ("Doctorat de Spécialité") in
Biochemistry and Food Enzymology ("Cum laude", 1999, UO), PhD in Biotechnology,
Food Technology and Nutrition (2005, Wageningen University). The research interest of Dr.
Dicko focuses on food enzymology (amylases, beta-glucanase, peroxidases, polyphenol
oxidases, lipases, etc.) and phenolic compounds and their impact on food qualities and
health properties. Since decembre 2007, professor Dicko is appointed head of the
laboratory of Food Biochemistry, Enzymology, Industrial Biotechnology and Bioinformatics
(Laboratoire LABEBIB), at Université de Ouagadougou. Other managerial functions: 1.
Consultant in Industrial Biotechnology, 2. coordinator of the alumni of the International
Foundation for Science (IFS) in Burkina Faso; 3. General Director of CENOU (Centre
National des Oeuvres Universitaires).
