About
I am an interdisciplinary scientist with expertise in molecular biology, infectious disease research, and medical laboratory science. I have fives years of experience researching and developing biomedical solutions at the interface of biology and engineering. Within this period I co-founded the first enzyme production lab in Ghana where I developed low-cost science hardware and conducted research into local enzyme production for use in diagnostic research and education in Ghana. My two years working as a research associate at Yemaachi Biotech involved using deep sequencing technologies (mainly MGI NGS platform) to study cancers affecting especially women and children in Africa and optimizing molecular diagnostic assays for a range of cancers, rare genetic disorders (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) and infectious agent risk factors of cancers like Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
