What I’m doing now
Active research
Two ongoing projects on microbial diversity and antimicrobial resistance.
Microbiome
Fermented food microbiomes across Ghana
Kwarteng Lab, KNUST · 2025 — Present
Mapping community structure and functional potential of indigenous fermented foods, with an eye on probiotic candidates.
Read more → AMRMulti-drug-resistant E. coli genomics
SeqbioUCC, UCC · 2024 — Present
Whole-genome sequencing of clinical and environmental isolates to characterise resistance gene flow.
Read more →Microbiome visualisation in R
Practical recipes for plotting microbiome data in R — stacked bars that don't lie, ordinations that read at a glance, and tidy taxa wrangling.
The importance of file naming in bioinformatics
File-naming conventions are critical for reproducibility and pipeline stability. Here's how I automated naming checks across a lab's shared drives.
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of antimicrobial use and resistance among nursing mothers in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana: a cross-sectional study.
