Dr. Eziuche Amadike Ugbogu is a Lecturer in the Department
of Biochemistry, Abia State University, Uturu, Abia State, Nigeria. He obtained
his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) and Master of Science (M.Sc) degrees in
Biochemistry from Abia State University. He also obtained a Master of Science
in Food Science and Nutrition from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK in
2011, focusing on the influence of white tea on microsatellite instability in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. He then continued his PhD in Biochemistry in the
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Laboratory of Professor Michael Schweizer at
Heriot-Watt University. His PhD thesis focused on how the PRS gene family links
primary metabolism and cell signalling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. He was
awarded the prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship for his M.Sc. and a Tertiary
Educational Trust Fund (TETfund) scholarship for his Ph.D. studies in the
United Kingdom. His area of interest includes (i) Evaluating the biochemical
significance and toxicity profile of medicinal plants, and (ii) Utilizing
biochemical and genetic approaches to gain insight into how the mutations of
the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) genes lead to cancer and
neurological disorders.
