I am currently, a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Medical Laboratory Science, where i mainly teach Pharmacology and Toxicology. I hold BSc degree in biological science from the University of Cape Coast (Ghana), M.Phil. Pharmacology from KNUST (Ghana) and Ph.D. in pharmacology from Anhui Medical University (China). I have and continues to contribute to the scientific cause through the apprenticeship of teaching and research.

At the undergraduate level, I have taught courses such as, introductory pharmacology, Drug metabolism & Toxicology, Anatomy & Physiology, Medical genetics, Nutritional Pharmacology, Nutraceuticals & functional foods, and Basic Pharmacology to a wide range of students from different departments and schools including School of Nursing, Department of Forensic Science, Department of Biomedical Science, Department of Nutrition & Dietetics and Department of Medical laboratory science.

At the postgraduate level, I teach courses such as General Pharmacology & Toxicology, Chemotherapy, Metabolic Transformation & Xenobiotics, and Target Identification & Validation.

In the course of my teaching career, I have supervised many undergraduate student projects and co-supervised one postgraduate project. Drawing on my rich experiences from teaching and research, I have together with colleagues carried out researches in areas such as natural product pharmacology, cancer pharmacotherapy, toxicology and plant-derived anti-microbial agents. As a result, I have a number of refereed works to my credit including original research articles, mini-reviews, reviews and topic highlights in refereed local and international journals.

I have delivered conference papers at both local and international conferences. In addition to been a special guest editor for Biomed Research International for a special issue on Toxicology, I also serve as a reviewer for many journals including, Environmental toxicology and pharmacology, Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, Physiological Reports, Cogent medicine, Pharmacognosy magazine just to mention but a sample. I enjoy membership of some local and international professional associations.

I take special interest in natural product pharmacology, bioassay-guided prospecting for anti-diabetic herbal drugs, and anti-cancer pharmacotherapeutic agents. Currently, my research has focused on identification and mechanistic elucidation of indigenous medicinal herbs having anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and anti-diabetic effects. I am passionate about teaching & research, collaborative work, and overall advancement of science and medicine.
