Graduate Student<\/p>\n
bbarthu@clemson.edu<\/p>\n
Biosketch:<\/strong><\/h3>\nI earned my B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. Following graduation, I worked as a laboratory technician with the One Health Bacteriology Group at the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine, Kumasi, Ghana, where we investigated the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria across animals, humans, and the environment. In 2024, I joined Clemson University to pursue a PhD in Bioengineering. I currently serve as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Cottle Lab, where I contribute to research towards the development of CRISPR-based gene editing technologies aimed at treating inherited metabolic diseases of the liver.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>Research Interests:<\/strong><\/h3>\nI am interested in the application of gene editing research to develop therapies for various infectious, metabolic, and genetic diseases. I am also drawn to the integration of in silico tools to enhance gene therapy research, which will improve precision and allow more versatile applications. Beyond the laboratory, I am committed to STEM advocacy and outreach, especially for children, and to contributing to policy development that promotes ethical and responsible scientific research.<\/p>\n
