Biography

A Medical scientist with a passion and specialty in genetics. I have over 10 years collective experience in medical diagnosis and medical research with a growing list of publications in accredited journals including a book chapter. My background is medical technology inclusive of clinical pathology, genetic diversity assays, genotyping, mutation analyses, university lecturing and multidisciplinary research in areas like cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, nutrigenomics and COVID-19.

For my doctoral thesis, I developed a cardiovascular risk model that can be used to examine the relationships between genetic polymorphisms and their respective risk (CVR) factors. Early detection of CVDs in asymptomatic individuals can help with precise treatment and reduce mortality rates, benefiting both individuals and public health systems.

I later joined the medical devices and diagnostics industry offering application support to our team and medical professionals. When I'm not at your trusted medical facility, I'm enjoying the outdoors with my family and leading team Jhey-Dot.
