Biography

Glory E. Mbah is a drug discovery researcher, mainly focused on the neglected tropical disease onchocerciasis. Her vision is to contribute in alleviating her local, and sub-Saharan community of this debilitating disease, through drug discovery, health education, and awareness. She hopes for a healthier more knowledgeable community, and therefore actively contributes to increase networking between communities, academia, local, and international drug companies. She also volunteers for laboratory sessions with young females (and sometimes males), to help demystify science.
