Current Research Activities
Chemical Sciences
During my master study I majored and done research in the area of organic chemistry mainly in natural products. My Master thesis title was isolation and structural elucidation of antibacterial compounds from the stem bark of Psorosperumum febrifugum. My research aimed at isolating, characterization and identification of the antibacterial compounds in the stem bark of Psorosperumum febrifugum that were be responsible for some of its medicinal properties.Current profession
