Career Trajectory
Bio
Dr. Emmanuel Timmy Donkoh is a lecturer of Biochemistry and Chemical Pathology at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR). He is the foundation Head of the Department of Medical Laboratory Science and Acting Head of the Center for Research in Applied Biology at his University.
Dr. Emmanuel Timmy Donkoh is a Principal Investigator of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), at the Center for Research in Applied Biology (CeRAB) and founding partner of the Screen and Treat Research Group. His research has attracted funding from the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (RSTMH), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC). He is currently conducting population-based intervention research to improve health-seeking behaviour within communities for the early detection of NCDs, monitor populations for cardiovascular risk factors and generate knowledge that could be used to prevent complications of Diabetes and Hypertension.
His previous research provides data on the molecular epidemiology of cancer-causing infectious agents and vaccines against papillomaviruses (HPV). This work provides evidence that currently available vaccines can be useful as a primary prevention strategy against HPV infection and its sequelae. In Ghana, most cancer patients present late for treatment when the prognosis is usually poor and management is expensive- often beyond the reach of the majority of patients. His research seeks to expand universal access to cervical screening services and to remove the inequalities faced by women in access to healthcare in the context of disease prevention and diagnosis.
Currently, he is also researching cancer prevention in vulnerable populations such as sex workers and women living with HIV/AIDS in Ghana with a vision to make early cancer diagnostics more available and accessible to the populations who need it most. There is a growing aversion to vaccine uptake throughout Africa for various reasons such as the paucity of locally-led research on vaccine durability and safety. In 2019, he was part of a team effort to study the safety and immunogenicity of HPV vaccines given to Ghanaian girls. He has also worked as a consultant to the World Health Organization, the Ghana Health Service and the Ghana Statistical Service in various capacities to promote global health and his passion is to make molecular diagnostics and therapeutics more available and accessible to the populations who need it most in a timely, cost-efficient fashion.
