I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Laboratory Science from the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Ghana, where I graduated with First-Class Honours. I was awarded as the Best Graduating Student in both Histopathology and Microbiology and received the Dean\u2019s Award as the school\u2019s overall second-best male student in my third year. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research on surrogate markers of malarial inflammation using complete blood count (CBC) data, under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Boachie. Over the years, I have actively engaged in research across neuroscience, hematology, pharmacogenetics, and public health.<\/p>\n

Research Interests<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My interests lie in neurodevelopmental biology and regenerative medicine, with a focus on understanding the cellular and molecular interplay between neural stem cells and neuroinflammatory cells. I aim to explore and exploit this knowledge in the context of neurodevelopment and neural tissue regeneration.<\/p>\n

Current Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Investigating the role of mTOR in the nervous system.<\/p>\n
