The researcher's work focuses on examining the impact of various pathogens, environmental exposures, and plant-derived compounds on human health across diverse contexts. This includes studying viral infections affecting pregnant women in specific populations, cardiovascular and metabolic risks in a hospital setting, malarial biomarkers from environmental sources, reproductive stains from ethanolic root extracts, respiratory management based on altitude, moringa's effects on fertility and hormones, HPV pathways in breast cancer research, menthol's role in rabbit health, and the influence of plant-derived compounds on rabbit metabolism.
Faculty Biography
I joined Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana, then the University of Science and Technology (UST) as an undergraduate student with the Department of Biology, currently known as the Department of Theoretical and Applied Biology. I graduated with a B.Sc in Biological Sciences in July 1999. I did my national service as a teaching assistant at the same department, after which I was enrolled in an MPhil program in 2000.I am currently a lecturer in the Department of Physiology in the School of Medicine and Dentistry (SMD) and a final year research student (PhD Reproductive Biology) at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Biology.I have served the school in various capacities. As a lecturer, I teach multiple aspects of physiology to both undergraduate and postgraduate students and supervise project works for some of these students. I have served on several committees of the University and as an exams officer, and a postgraduate coordinator at the Department of Physiology.
