Graduate Student
I obtained my Doctor of Pharmacy(Pharm D.) degree from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. I am currently a PhD Pharmaceutical sciences student working under Dr. Courtney Roper in the Environmental Toxicology division of BioMolecular sciences. My research interests are analyzing the differences between particulate matter, black carbon and oxidative potential across locations, and analyzing the developmental toxicity of these particulates in model organisms like zebrafish.
