At University of Abuja, I process histological slides and conduct microscopy demonstrations and practicals for preclinical and allied health students. I also carry out gross dissection practicals and demonstrations.

At Professor Akpantah LAB, I investigated whether Buchholzia coriacea could mitigate cadmium chloride toxicity in rat gonadal and brain tissue. I designed the experimental protocol, treated rats with plant extract, and performed semen analysis and tissue microscopy.
