What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to teaching, research, and laboratory leadership opportunities focused on anatomy, neuroscience, ageing, neuroprotection, toxicology, Drosophila research, and computational drug discovery.

I teach Human Anatomy and Basic Medical Sciences at Dai Nam University and Redeemer’s University, while leading research in ageing, neuroprotection, and toxicology.

My doctoral research evaluates the geroprotective and neuroprotective effects of minocycline in adult Drosophila melanogaster, including lifespan, oxidative damage, NAD+ synthesis, and gut microbiome dynamics.

I established and coordinate the Drosophila Research Laboratory at Redeemer’s University and founded the Drosophila Outreach to Secondary Schools programme. I also founded AnatOrb, an online platform for teaching Human Anatomy.

My published work spans Drosophila neurotoxicity, hippocampal research, gastroprotection, histology, vaccine design, and computational drug discovery. I bring practical experience in bioinformatics, molecular docking, stereology, histological evaluation, ELISA, PCR, and qPCR.
