About

I am a qualified pharmacist with a Masters degree in Pharmacy, with my research focus lying in Pharmaceutical Microbiology, specializing in determining interactive antimicrobial and toxicity profiles of conventional antimicrobial agents in combination with southern African traditional medicinal plants. I am currently a lecturer in Pharmacy Practice at the University of the Witwatersrand and have four year experience working in the public Healthcare sector, at a pharmaceutical medical depot and a central dispensing unit.
