Education
  • As a Biochemistry student, I learnt about biomolecules and how they can affect health both in physiological state and pathological conditions.
  • Forensic science was part what I was thought, in which its application is crucial during medico-legal cases.
  • I learnt about Nutritional Biochemistry and its application in food industries.
  • I learnt about Industrial Biochemistry, where I practical carried out some small scale production and packaging of food products such as yogurt through the process of fermentation.
  • I learnt about Biotechnology, where the application is of great importance in the current science world, for environmental toxicants monitoring, Gene manipulation, development of certain crop type for farmers and horticulturist. Also, for the treatment of disease conditions e.g cancer. Part of the Biotechnology is the development of drug from medicinal plants, which I found interesting and intriguing.
  • Toxicology was part of what I was thought, where I learnt about the pollutants in our environment and how they can be so toxic to health, likewise, their control measures.
  • Finally, my undergraduate research seminar was based on environmental toxicants and how they got into environment.
  • My undergraduate research project was about heavy metal and how they can affect different organs of the body and the ameliorating effects of medicinal plant on the heavy metal, through the use of animal model.
