Joseph Yawson

I've supported pharmaceutical quality at Kinapharma Limited and Azar Chemical Industries Limited, testing raw materials, investigating defective returned products, and supervising production activities against standard operating procedures.

At Kinapharma, I analyzed raw materials using pharmacopeia methods for purity, identity, potency, and other quality parameters. I also validated HPLC sample preparation methods to British and US requirements and optimized dissolution testing for drug formulations.

My laboratory work includes UV-Vis spectroscopy, pH analysis, vitamin C analysis, analytical balance calibration, friability testing, and dimensional assessment of processed drugs using vernier calipers and screw gauges.

I'm also a chemistry educator with experience improving laboratory safety, updating course materials, assessing student learning, and providing individualized academic and career guidance. I hold a BSc in Chemistry and am currently pursuing an MPhil in Communication Studies.
