Bio
Mmenyene Paul Raphael is a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Sciences at Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua, Nigeria. I hold a B.Sc. in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Port Harcourt and am pursuing an M.Sc. in Organic/Natural Product Chemistry at Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden. My research focuses on the phytochemical analysis and in vitro pharmacological evaluation of medicinal plants indigenous to Southern Nigeria. I am a member of the ACS, RSC, and CSN. I am passionate about natural product discovery, scientific research, and mentoring young scientists to bridge traditional medicine and modern chemistry. She is passionate about supporting the development of green chemistry education and creating awareness in the communities around West Africa about the importance of sustainability.
