I earned my Bachelor's degree of Biomedical Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, and subsequently completed
my Master's degree of Biomedical Engineering at Arizona State University through the
International Accelerated Degree Program. During my master's research in the Brafman
Laboratory, I focused on the characterization of pH- and oxygen-sensing nanoparticles
for monitoring the cellular microenvironment.
Upon completing my master's degree, I transitioned into a Research Technician position
in the Brafman Laboratory, where I collaborated with multidisciplinary teams from
Biogen and Trailhead Biosystems on the development, optimization, and testing of
GABAergic interneuron formulations for neurological applications.
Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Arizona State University
through the Presidential Graduate Assistantship Program. My research combines
advanced gene-editing technologies with human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-
derived neural culture models to investigate how Reelin gene variants influence
Alzheimer's disease progression. My research focuses on understanding the molecular
mechanisms by which the protective Reelin COLBOS mutation influences Alzheimer's
disease progression.
Outside the laboratory, I enjoy playing tennis with friends, which provides a great
balance to my research and helps me stay active.
