In today’s scientific environment, in which most PhD scientists concentrate on a single specific discipline, I might shift toward a more systemic view to approach the challenge in infectious diseases.

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

I found my niche, and I have not looked back.

When you are following your passion, people will always see what you are doing. People will see that you are doing something different, and they will help you.

Biomedicine represents the future of healthcare, aiming to intercept diseases before they arise and tailoring solutions to each individual's unique needs. It's not just about treating illnesses; it's about preventing them before they take root.

If we do research, in addition to establishing connections with other researchers, we must also communicate and do a lot of outreach in order to share our science with the community.

There is no reproduction without science. There is no electricity without science. There is no water without science…Life is science, science is life.

The main problem in radiotherapy is that most cancer cells are resistant to radiation.

OWSD fellowship represents a real empowering difference in my life and career

OWSD has provided tremendous support in shaping my career as a researcher, science ambassador, role model for women scientists and a "think high" human being.

By creating links between food research and industry, she hopes to enhance food security both in Ghana and in Africa as a whole.

" I can boldly declare that OWSD rewarded my brilliance thus giving me recognition and confidence in my professional arena and placed me in national and international scientific communities.”

I desire to see my country, Nigeria, become a leading destination for impactful clinical studies.

Winning this award opened many doors for me. It has led to success in acquiring local funding.

What has surprised me is the way technology is emerging and affecting the current state of research. We are encountering a fourth industrial revolution that entails advances in computing power, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, which has already been shown to alter the way we conduct research.

I wanted to do applied physics, not theoretical physics… I really wanted to use all of the knowledge that I acquired at university to explain our environment.

I wanted to show women that it was possible that when you do agricultural sciences, you can go on and do more for your career development.

Dr. Shammi's research will help to fill a crucial gap in the the global understanding of carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions by providing data on one of the world’s largest river systems.

I owe ‘what’, ‘who’ and ‘where’ I am in my career and professional practice today to OWSD because without the PHD Fellowship, all my achievements today would have been nothing but bleak.

The OWSD award helped me not only to become the researcher I am today, but also to become a leader in research.
