2008-2008 Senior Scientist, Cyanta Analytical Laboratories (a pharmaceutical

contract laboratory), Maryland Heights, MO, USA. Chromatographic analysis in

support of drug development for pharmaceutical companies. Undertakings included

analytical support in support of development of a continuous subcutaneous insulin

infusion device based on analysis of commercial insulin dose formulation such as

Humalog, Novolog, and Apidra by HPLC. Use of compendial methods (USP, EP).

2007-2008 Scientist, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Test

Method Validation in a cGMP environment. Diagnostics methods characterization

and validation for regulatory submissions. Validated enzyme kinetic assays using

UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Design of test method characterization and validation

protocols, execution of protocols, and development of summary reports.

Demonstrated advanced practical knowledge and skills in the validation of enzyme

assays, for example, Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, Lactate

Dehydrogenase, Glutamate Dehydrogenase, Alpha Ketoglutatrate, ATP, NADH,

Cholesterol oxidase, Lipoprotein lipase, Glycerol-3-Phosphate oxidase, Glycerol

kinase, and Uricase. ICH guidelines for method validation.

2005-2007: Associate Research Scientist, Baxter Healthcare Corporation,

Round Lake, Illinois, USA. Supported applied research in areas of analytical

biotechnology related to the development and support of pharmaceutical products.

experimental protocols. Familiarity with FDA regulations, and writing of SOPs and

Protocols. Supported development and validation of method pertaining to analysis of

carbohydrates from anti-hemophilic therapeutic recombinant glycoprotein using ion

chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection. ICH guidelines.

2005-Present: Adjunct Faculty, University of Phoenix, USA. Graduate and

Undergraduate School of Business & Management. Teach graduate management

course in Applied Statistics for Managerial Decisions. Teach undergraduate business

course in Research and Evaluation.

2003-2005: Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Argonne National Laboratory

(a U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory). Developed and

validated both qualitative and quantitative analytical

techniques using the LECO 2-Dimensional GCXGC-Time-of

Flight mass spectrometry instrumentation. Also worked on

developing methods using stand-alone Agilent 6890 gas

chromatographs. Had extensive training in laboratory

controls and environmental health and safety.

Developed extensive experience in ion Chromatography and Gas Chromatography

for air pollution research. Study of the regional nature of ambient fine-particulate

pollution episodes in Southwestern Pennsylvania and the Upper Ohio River Valley.

1997-1998: Chemistry Lecturer, Technikon Mangosothu, Durban, Republic of

South Africa. Head of Department of Analytical Chemistry

1993-1996: Research Associate, University of Natal, Durban, Republic of South

Africa. Research interests included methods development for direct coupling of

supercritical fluid extraction to capillary gas chromatography. Analytical supercritical

fluid chromatography and extraction.

1990-1993: Chemistry Teacher, Namwala Secondary School, Republic of

Zambia. Taught ordinary and advanced level chemistry. Head, Department of

Chemistry.

1987-1990: Chemistry Teacher, Swedru Secondary School, Republic of Ghana.
