It was his undergraduate research project, completed toward the end of his Medical Laboratory science degree at the University of Ghana. The premise was localized and unglamorous, but the stakes were remarkably high: it addressed a hidden vulnerability directly affecting patient safety.More than a decade later, Ghanem is asking similar, vital…
