About Me
Dr. Kwaku Baryeh is originally from Ghana, where he earned a BSc Biochemistry degree from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. He took a break after his bachelor’s and worked in an animal research institute in Ghana where he was introduced to molecular diagnostics. In 2019, he completed a PhD in Analytical Chemistry at North Dakota State University. This was followed by a 13-month post doctoral fellowship in biosensors at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Subsequently, Dr. Baryeh led his independent research group at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville where he focused on the development of point-of-care diagnostics for the screening of cancer biomarkers. Dr. Baryeh is excited about joining the Clinical Chemistry Fellowship at the University of Utah, and looks forward to directly contributing to patient care. He is interested in laboratory developed tests and clinical assay validation. Outside of work, he enjoys video gaming, watching movies, listening to audio books, and looks forward to exploring the great landscapes of Utah and engaging in outdoor activities with his family.
