Professional Snapshot

I possess a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Science from the University of Ghana, a Master’s in Data Science from the University of East London, and a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Suffolk. I am a licensed Medical Scientist, certified by both the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) of Ghana and CORU in the Republic of Ireland. I also maintain active memberships with the Ghana Association of Biomedical Laboratory Scientists (GABMLS) and the Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine (ACSLM) in Ireland.
With more than a decade of professional experience, I currently serve as a Principal Biomedical Scientist at Cocoa Clinic, the medical division of Ghana Cocoa Board. In this capacity, I am accountable for routine diagnostic testing, laboratory result validation, medical reporting, equipment maintenance, and quality assurance. I also facilitate public health programs through community health screenings, antenatal interventions, and outbreak response, with practical involvement in HIV screening, malaria case management, syphilis diagnostics, and participation in seminars on viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) surveillance from a laboratory perspective.
In recent years, I have broadened my scope to include computational epidemiology, applying machine learning models to analyze and predict trends in infectious diseases—particularly HIV incidence in Ghana. My academic research reflects this focus, integrating public health data with statistical and predictive modeling techniques.I have undertaken over 20 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs, covering areas such as laboratory diagnostics, pathology, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), epidemiological methods, scientific communication, biosafety, and laboratory work culture. My professional vision is to bridge laboratory science with data-driven public health practice to improve disease surveillance, support evidence-informed policymaking, and advance equitable healthcare delivery across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
