My interest is in natural product research particularly in the isolation and characterization of new molecules of medicinal benefit from plants and their pharmacognostic identification focusing on anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-infective agents. 

Current projects
1.   Isolation of medicinal compounds from selected Ghanaian medicinal plants.
 
2.   Anti-inflammatory and anaelgesic activities of Saba species in murine models.

3.   Genus Saba: Acute toxicity studies in murine models.
