Biography

I am a biologist interested in how technology can be used to create healthier systems. From my experience of growing up in West Africa, I have been concerned about health systems in my country Nigeria and how they operate. More people die every year from preventable and treatable diseases than of terminal illnesses, and a good number of these diseases are hereditary. This influenced my study of genomic medicine in the University of Cambridge where I conducted research on personalised medicine as a more sustainable approach to medicine for developing countries. I now run a startup that provides personalized medicine services in Nigeria.
