What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level pharmacology research role where I can run molecular biology and in vivo experiments, support rigorous data analysis and scientific writing, and grow within a collaborative team.

I’m a first-class honours B.Sc. graduate in Pharmacology with hands-on research experience in molecular biology and in vivo experimental pharmacology. In my undergraduate research project, I designed and conducted alloxan-induced diabetic rat studies to evaluate metformin–propranolol co-administration on hematological indices, supported data analysis, and contributed to manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed publication.

In addition, my Nigerian Institute of Medical Research internship strengthened my lab practice through DNA extraction, PCR, tissue culture, and agarose gel electrophoresis, alongside animal handling and collaborative biomedical research. I also support learning as a Graduate Assistant (online lectures and student support), and I’m committed to research documentation, laboratory safety, and producing clear scientific writing that moves evidence forward.
