Biography
Beatrice is a postdoctoral research fellow at Northeastern University, USA. Her research is investigating the pathology and toxicology of drugs. She completed her PhD thesis at WACCBIP-University of Ghana. As a short-term scholar, she did her PhD research in Ann Moormann's laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, investigating genetic associations of pediatric lymphomas. Prior postdoctoral research experiences in drug and immunotherapy discovery in Lisa Cavacini's lab at MassBiologics include ELISA and Luminex immunoassays, Cell sorting and Flow cytometry, PCR and gel electrophoresis, protein expression and purification from bacteria and mammalian cells, and synthesis of monoclonal antibodies from humans and mouse fusions for Lyme disease. Beatrice's hobbies include volunteering and community service. Research interests
