What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level role in clinical research to leverage my scientific training and public health insights.

I am an aspiring clinical research professional with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, set to graduate in November 2024 from Nile University of Nigeria. My hands-on experience in laboratory research and public health initiatives has fueled my passion for improving patient outcomes through evidence-based research and community education. Currently, I work as a Research Assistant at the National Institute of Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT), where I conduct data collection and reporting on disease prevention efforts, contributing to evidence-based decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have volunteered as a Program Manager for the Genius Minds Initiative, where I equipped over 50 young individuals with skills for personal development and growth. My internship experiences at CELKHA Bioscience and the Institute of Human Virology have further honed my laboratory skills, including DNA extraction, PCR, and data analysis using bioinformatics tools. I am dedicated to supporting trial coordination, data management, and regulatory compliance in a dynamic research setting.
