I joined UCC in 2010 as a Research Assistant with the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, School of Biological Sciences, CANS. I graduated with a BSc. in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, UCC, and an MPhil in Nuclear Agriculture (Mutation Breeding and Plant Biotechnology, Option) from the School of Nuclear and Allied Sciences, University of Ghana. I had a Ph.D. degree in Plant Pathology (Molecular Plant Virology, Major) from Shandong Agricultural University, P.R. China. I am currently a lecturer in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of Cape Coast.
Research Areas: Molecular Biology, Plant Breeding and Genetics, Plant Virology, Plant Physiology
