Biography

I hold a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree with a strong background in Medical and Nutritional Biochemistry and a senior lecturer from the Department of Biochemistry, Ebonyi State University, Nigeria. I am a fellow of DAAD with a personal reference number: 91748211. My current research area/interest is focused on natural products, nutraceuticals and drug discovery from neglected and underutilized medicinal plants and vegetable oil used in folk medicine in the management of chronic diseases such as cancer, viral and bacterial infections, arthritis and diabetes, etc. I have conducted several innovative researches in the area of natural products and nutraceuticals, which have been published in reputable international journals. I have won several grants in natural products research. I have published over 92 articles in both international and local journals. I have some training in tissue culture/cell biology and advanced bioinformatics techniques. I also have strong aptitude in the use of advanced statistical techniques for biomedical science research. I am a Google scholar with 865 Google citations from many research journal articles.
