I use state-of-the-art phenotypic and whole-genome sequencing to understand the epidemiology of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria species isolated from humans, livestock, and the environment. Specifically, I study superbugs like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria, with an overall goal of tackling antimicrobial resistance in Ghana and on the African continent. Contributing to raising the next generation of scientists/workforce to tackle AMR: -via training of laboratory staff from the human and animal health sectors to correctly identify bacteria species, perform standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and use molecular tools/free online databases to detect AMR and virulence genes. -Training of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of bacteriology and AMR I co-manage StaphnetAfrica, a network of African researchers and UK collaborators working on Staphylococcus aureus: www.staphnetafrica.org I founded Women In Biomedicine, Africa, an organization born out of a passion to provide mentorship and career guidance for young women in biomedical careers and to harness their skills to significantly improve health care in Africa: www.wibafrica.org I am also the co-founder of the Seers Foundation, an Extreme Human Resource Development Non-Governmental Organization that is committed to grooming humanity for excellence and raising exceptional doers.
