I am a Lecturer, Consultant Clinical Embryologist and a Fertility Specialist who combines both academic and hands-on clinical expertise in Assisted Reproductive Technologies and research at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Basic and Biomedical Sciences (SBBS) of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), Ho, Ghana. I was recently inducted as a Fellow of the West African College of Morphologists (FWACOM).
I educate, mentor and innovate students and healthcare practitioners while delivering patient-centered reproductive care. I graduated with a PhD in Human Anatomy, Cell Biology and Embryology from the Department of Human Anatomy, School of Medicine and Dentistry (KSMD), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. Earlier, I had my Master’s Degree (MSc) programme in Clinical Embryology at the School of Medicine, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, West Yorkshire and United Kingdom (UK) in October 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Helen Picton, Dr. David Miller, Dr. John Huntriss and Dr. Jan Hogg. This prepared me for both clinical work, teaching and research in an academic setting as a graduate in 2012.
During my PhD studies at the School of Medicine and Dentistry (KSMD), I got involved in research at the In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) Department - Airport Women’s Hospital (AWH), Accra, with Prof. (Mrs.) Chrissie Stansie Abaidoo (Head of Anatomy Department, KNUST) and Prof. Frederick Kwaku Addai (Former Head of Anatomy Department, University of Ghana Medical School) Accra, Ghana. I started my career and worked as a full-time Clinical Embryologist and the Head of the IVF Department and Laboratory at the first IVF and fertility hospital in Ghana, Provita Specialist Hospital (PSH) in Tema. I have over twenty (20) years of clinical practice in Clinical Embryology, Research, Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and Biomedical Sciences and have contributed to the research works of several local and foreign PhD, Postgraduate and medical students for their additional specialist qualification in reproductive medicine, especially in the area of Human Embryology and Infertility. Prior to my appointment as a Lecturer at UHAS, I was a part-time Lecturer at the Department of Human Biology, University of Cape Coast (UCC) from 2012 to 2014.
