Biography

I am a medical doctor who is passionate about curbing the overwhelming scourge of obesity which contributes significantly to the leading causes of death worldwide, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Global efforts against those non-communicable diseases are greatly limited without addressing obesity. Having practiced Metabolic Medicine for several years, I realized that evidence-based strategies backed by credible science is key to developing sustainable medical solutions against obesity. I went on to obtain an MSc in Medical Biochemistry, and now I plan to undergo a PhD in Clinical Biochemistry to study the adipose tissue extracellular matrix from various racial populations, including Black African populations to understand the mechanisms that can be targeted for treatment of obesity.I am thrilled to be a Gates Cambridge scholar to enjoy all the opportunities it offers, and excited at the high-level scientific work I will be engaged with during my studies.
