Francis Ofosu-Koranteng is a public health researcher specializing in antimicrobial resistance, food safety, and aquaculture health. His doctoral research investigates the human health risks associated with antimicrobial drug residues and resistant bacteria in cage-cultured Nile tilapia from Ghana’s Volta Lake, combining systematic review, field sampling, advanced laboratory analysis, and assessments of farmer practices.
He brings more than a decade of interdisciplinary experience that bridges research, laboratory science, and regulatory frameworks. His expertise spans antimicrobial residue analysis using UHPLC-QQQ mass spectrometry, resistance profiling with VITEK II, and probabilistic health risk modeling. Guided by a One Health perspective, his work links environmental, animal, and human health to inform sustainable aquaculture practices and evidence-based regulatory frameworks.
Beyond research, Francis has engaged in capacity building through advanced training in liquid chromatography and LC-MS at the National Metrology Institute of South Africa. He is committed to generating evidence that safeguards consumer health, strengthens regulatory systems, and supports farmer livelihoods, with a focus on low- and middle-income country contexts.
