The Hyphenated Academic: A Journey of Science, Identity, Faith, and the Quest for Belonging, from Sufi Africa to the British Academy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783032363725)

I am a pharmacologist and basic science researcher specialising in the design, preclinical testing, and commercialisation of novel, inexpensive small molecules with anti-inflammatory, anti-metastatic, and/or anti-osteolytic properties. Beyond the lab, I am a data science enthusiast. In 2021, I founded the Africa in Science (AiS) Think-tank, which monitors the scientific output of Africa-based institutions to identify under-researched and neglected topics across the continent. Within the scientific community, I am a committed advocate for early-career researchers. In 2019, I founded and served as the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of www.HubLE.org, the official Learning and Sharing Environment of the IFMRS. As an activist scientist, I am also deeply interested in the influence of culture on academics, particularly those with "hyphenated" or intersecting identities.
