Experience
07/2010-Date Professor (Tenured) Department of Chemistry, Tennessee State University (TSU), Nashville, Tennessee
Our current studies are focused on the mechanisms of novel compounds such as acridones and their derivatives as cancer preventive agents and on their abilities in modulating glutathione (GSH) levels following the exposure to the said compounds.
08/2004-07/2010 Associate Professor (Tenured) Department of Chemistry, Tennessee State University (TSU), Nashville, Tennessee
Our previous and published information from this laboratory have shown that plant flavonoids (namely, quercetin and genistein) do inhibit lipid peroxides in methyl linolenate and in human progenitor mononuclear (U937) cells. In the case of the U937 cells we observed a correlation between reduced lipid peroxides and the increased glutathione (GSH) levels supporting our earlier hypothesis that the reduced lipid peroxides may be due to the increased GSH levels. Our studies are focused on the mechanisms involving the up regulation of GSH levels following the exposure to these compounds.
06/2004-06/2009 Visiting Professor Vanderbilt Eye Institute, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee
VEGF released from tumor cells stimulate angiogenesis from surrounding vessels. New vessels are leaky, resulting in the extravasation of serum proteins. This leads to the formation of a fibrin matrix that supports endothelial cell growth and migration. Current
studies involves both angiogenic (VEGF) and angiostatic factors (PEDF, TIMP-1 & 2, Throbonspondin etc.) on neovascularization in poked and non-poked rats. Fractionation of angiogenic and angiostatic proteins by cation exchange chromatography and how the fractionated proteins affect the proliferation of endothelial cells. Current findings indicate that proteins from vitreous of poked rats significantly inhibit human endothelial cells proliferation. The ultimate aim of this work is to find other therapeutic agents which can stimulate the release of angiostatic factors to mimic the effect seen in poked rats (i.e., increased release of angiostatic proteins) to prevent angiogenesis as evidenced in diabetics.
06/2000-06/2007 Consultant, Department of Medical Education, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee
Volunteered & instructed new post baccalaureate students in Inorganic and Organic Chemistry and to prepare them for their respective MCAT & DAT exams.
08/99-06/2004 Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, Tennessee State University (TSU), Nashville, Tennessee
Studies on the antioxidative effects of flavonoids on heavy metal oxidation (i.e., Cd2+, Ni2+ etc.) of DNA and their contribution to the mutagenic burden of the cell. Other research areas involve the identification of new products formed from endogenous oxidation of deoxyribose by heavy metals (e.g., abstraction of hydrogen from 5’ of ribose) and how these products affect endogenous DNA adduct formation.
10/97-09/99 Postdoctoral Associate Division of Bioengineering & Environmental Health, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T), Cambridge, MA
Researched mechanisms by which products of certain amino acid metabolism under certain disease conditions (e.g., Tyrosinemia) damage DNA. The level of Peroxynitrite damage on DNA was studied with respect to etheno adduct and DNA strand break formation. Synthesized specific oxidized sugar products (e.g., formyl phosphate) and examined DNA damaging potential. Identification of damaged products by HPLC, EMS, LC/MS and structural elucidation by NMR.
12/95-09/97 Consultant Ministry of Energy & Environmental Affairs, Accra, Ghana Advised Ministry on major factors affecting environmental degradation and pollution in the Greater Accra Region with the goal of ensuring effective environmental management.
12/91-08/95 Postdoctoral Associate Division of Toxicology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T), Cambridge, MA
Developed methods for the quantification of adducts (i.e., bulky and non-bulky) in genomic DNA resulting from exposure to environmental carcinogens in humans.
Research involved synthesis and purification of 8-Hydroxy- 2-Deoxyguanosine followed by acylation with T-butoxycarbonyly-l-[35S]methionine,N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (35S-TBM-NHS) and separation, characterization and quantification of the acylated
products. Studies were also carried out on activation, adduction and identification of adducts of chemical carcinogens such as benzo[a]pyrene to DNA by enzymatic means under in vitro and in vivo conditions;quantification of levels of DNA and benzo[a]pyrene-DNA adducts from paraffin embedded tissues by acylation with 35 S-TBM-NHS and chracterization and identification of adducts; immunoaffinity purification of bulky and
non-bulky DNA adducts by monoclonal antibodies. Supervised research work of visiting scientists. Prepared technical reports and papers for publication and presented lectures on research.

Other methodologies used were: polymerase chain reaction (PCR), mismatch amplification mutation assay (MAMA) and denaturation gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).
10/88-11/91 Research Assistant Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (IIT), Haifa, Israel
Concentrated on heavy metal toxicology in relation to fetotoxicity; toxic metals in relation to nutrient transfer, enzyme activities and hormone secretion, using young and term placentae, in a perfusion, superfusion, and incubation systems. In addition, investigated the effects of toxic metals on placental membrane fluidity, placental cholesterol, phospholipids, metallothionein, and metal accumulation in the placental membranes. Supervised the research work of several undergraduate and graduate students.
10/85-09/88 Research Assistant Technion - IIT, Haifa, Israel
Investigated in depth on how dietary supplementation with antioxidants and minerals affected the resistance of the organism to oxidative damage (i.e., hyper baric oxygen toxicity - HBO) and how these nutrients influenced glutathione (GSH) levels, a naturally occurring antioxidant, and its associated antioxidant enzymes in the GSH-redox cycle. Acquired experience in isolation and purification techniques of food proteins by precipitation, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography.
