The overall research focus centers on understanding and improving the pharmacological properties and applications of natural compounds derived from various plant species, with a particular emphasis on their impact on biological systems, food formulations, and pharmaceuticals. This includes studies on plant extracts for antibiotic activity, microbial disintegration, antioxidant properties, pectin-based formulations in food and oral medications, and the effects of traditional medicines on health outcomes.
Faculty Biography
Marcel Tunkumgnen Bayor was born around the mid of the 1960s as the first of seven children to Mr. Stephen Bayor Tizaalee and Madam Mary Kanvenyelle, in a small but popular village of Bussie, in the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa (DBI) District of the Upper West Region of Ghana. I had my Basic education in the village Local Authority School and High School education (Ordinary and Advanced levels) in Wa Secondary School, Wa, UWR, and Ghana Secondary School, Tamale, NR; respectively. I proceeded to KNUST for a Degree in Pharmacy (BPharm) and became a Pharmacist in 1993. After obtaining my Master’s degree in Kings College, University of London, I took up lectureship in Kumasi Polytechnic in 1996, and later moved to the Faculty of Pharmacy, KNUST in 2002 as a Lecturer. I acquired my PhD in 2007; and by hard work, I rose through the ranks from a Lecturer to a Professor of Pharmaceutics, by August 2022. I am married to Mrs. Theresa Bayor and we have five Children.
