She is associated as Editor and Member of many online journals. Umeaku has guided over 500 students at undergraduate, M.Sc., and Ph.D. levels in Nigeria. She has developed Antiplasmodial drug from medicinal plants, using Plasmodium berghei-induced malaria in mice models. She elucidated the antibacterial activities of Vernonia amygdalina, Ocimum gratissimum and Garcinia kola. In her study of Helicobacter pylori, she compared the detection methods in individuals suffering from stomach ulcers. She has carried out outstanding researches on the effect of temperature and moisture on the hatchability of intestinal helminths eggs. Umeaku studied Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida albicans in pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Onitsha metropolis. Under Environmental Microbiology, she characterized rhizosphere microorganisms associated with crude oil environment and used them to remediate the hydrocarbon-polluted environments. She has conducted outstanding studies on the bacteriological quality of drinking water in parts of Anambra State with Salmonella typhi being highly implicated. Under Food Microbiology, Associate Prof. C. N. Umeaku has been able to produce edible milk from the plant, Treculia africana. She has also worked on the Public health implication of ready-to-drink yoghurt, and ready-to-eat meat. Umeaku has attended conferences both internationally and locally including the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM), Berlin, Germany. She enjoyed the Federal government scholarship award for some of her research studies, she has obtained several research grants including TETFUND IBR. Chinyelu Umeaku has given several public lectures including representing the Vice Chancellor at ATPS, UNIZIK, Awka and being a guest speaker at the Federal House of Assembly, Abuja, Nigeria. She has been a member of 20 University Committees including Adhoc Committee on General planning of the the first convocation of COOU.
