I hold BSc and MPhil degrees in Biochemistyry from the University of Ghana. I successfully graduated with a PhD in Aging studies (radiation biology) in 2013 with a “Suma cum Laude” from the University of Murcia Spain. This was followed by a one-year post-doctoral fellowship at the Division of Radiobiology, Stellenbosch University where I studied “protein biomarkers for radiation dosimetry”.    

 I was engaged by the Ghana Education Service to teach Chemistry to high school students after my undergraduate studies in 1990, and resigned as a senior Superintendent.

I was employed by the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission in January 1998 as a Research Scientist researching in the use of molecular and isotopic techniques for the diagnosis of  tuberculosis and have since risen to the rank of Chief Research Scientist.

 I was made the Centre Manager of the Applied Radiation Biology Centre of the Radiological and Medical Sciences Research Institute (RAMSRI) here at the GAEC in 2009 until July 2016 where  I became the substantive Deputy-Director of RAMSRI.
 Within the GAEC, I initiated and led some important projects including; International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project “Strengthening of “Biological dosimetry” in IAEA Member States and co-investigator of an IAEA marine project RAF 7/0/14,  “The Application of Nuclear Analytical Techniques to Support Harmful Algal Bloom Management In The Context Of Climate And Environmental Change”. Additionally, I was also Chief Scientific Investigator of IAEA CRP: - “Assessment of food chain transfer of harmful algal toxins and heavy metals in some marine organisms in the coastal waters of Ghana”.
 Moreover, I initiated several minor projects since joining the GAEC including pioneering work in the area of botanical medicine hinging around the evaluation of medicinal plant extracts for their radioprotective, radiosensitising and anti-cancer principles. I also pioneered work in the area of biological dosimetry in the GEAC and Ghana.
 I have served on several committees within and outside the the GAEC including the GAEC Corporate Strategic Plan Review Committee, RAMSRI Administrative Committee, RAMSRI Research and Technical Committee. I prrviously served as member of the Presidential Committee on Vaccines Manufacturing in Ghana and currently a member of Governing Board of the National Vaccines Institute (NVI), member of Project steering committee  of Post Covid-19 Skills Development and Productivity Enhancement Project (PSDPEP) and member  and member of the GHS/WHO International Health Regulations (IHR) Steering Committee (Radiation Focal Group).
 Internationally, I previously served as a reviewer for two (2) International Journal and taken part in numerous international conferences and workshops on cancer and radiation biology, biodosimetry, biotechnology and various diverse areas of endeavour. I have also acted as supervisor for undergraduate and postgraduate students but also as an external examiner for PhD theses in Radiobiology, toxicology and radiation protection for some local an international Universities.

 Research Interest: My interest inytersets spans from science education and management, teaching and to life science research in such areas as, Radiobiology, Neutrophils and radiation induced reactive oxygen species. Biodosimetry. Radioprotectors and Radiosensitizers. Cancer biologyand Phytomedicine/natural products.
