Dr. Eleblu's current research focus is centered on projects he has led at the University of Ghana in collaboration with members internally and externally. He has led the development of three research projects on Cowpea/Beans and Soybean at the University of Ghana. Firstly, under a US$ 1 million grant from the African Union for 3 years, which begun in 2018, he is leading as a Co-Principal Investigator. The overall goal of the project is to ensure sustainable intensification of the production of Maize, Tomato, Cowpea and Rice through crop and soil health management. Currently Dr. Eleblu is passionately leading the development of Cowpea Value Chain for increased efficiency in Ghana. He has hosted 2 value chain workshops that brought together in total about 100 actors in the value chain. Under this initiative he has catalogued the needs of the value chain actors and have designed a demand-led breeding programme that aims to develop minimum cooking time (10 – 20 minutes), extra early maturity (60 DAP), high yielding potential (15% more yield compared to Hewale under normal growth conditions), drought tolerance (30% more yield compared to Hewale under drought), cream to white grain color, large grain size (20% larger than Hewale), pest/disease resistance (resistance to striga, thrips, and Cercospora leaf spot). Also, he is interested in establishing a forward and reverse genetics platform at the University of Ghana to serve as a source of huge genetic diversity and as a national and sub regional resource for the sustainable genetic improvement of Cowpea and the mapping of key agronomic traits of economic importance. Secondly, in partnership with the National Institute for Agricultural Botany (NIAB), United Kingdom, he is leading the development of tissue culture platforms at WACCI for the sustainable improvement of Cowpeas in Ghana and for the subregion. Thirdly, he is evaluating soybean genetic resources collected from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) across agro-ecological zones in Ghana for adaptability (tolerance to diseases and pests) and comparatively higher yields in comparison with the local checks
