Rotational Medical Laboratory Scientist - University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria - Ibadan, Nigeria

(2024-06 - 2025-06)

Rotated across all major high-volume pathology departments, processing diagnostic samples and validating results under UKAS-aligned quality frameworks.

• Haematology & Coagulation: Evaluated Full Blood Counts (FBC) and coagulation profiles using Sysmex analysers. Prepared, stained, and microscopically examined peripheral blood films to assist clinicians in identifying abnormal cell morphology for leukemias, anemias, and haemoparasites.
• Blood Transfusion Science: Executed ABO/Rh grouping, antibody screening, cross-matching, and HLA typing. Strictly managed blood product inventory and monitored cold-chain storage to guarantee safe-transfusion compliance.
• Medical Microbiology: Conducted pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) using automated VITEK 2 and BACTEC systems alongside manual cultures, microscopy, and differential staining.
• Chemical Pathology: Operated high-throughput Roche cobas and Abbott platforms for liver, renal, lipid, cardiac, and endocrine panels. Managed CSF analysis, glucose profiles, and quantitative urinalysis.
• Histopathology & Cytology: Processed tissue specimens from fixation to paraffin embedding, microtomy, H&E staining, special histochemical stains, and liquid-based cytology preparation.
• Quality & Operations: Executed daily IQC, participated in EQA schemes, performed analyzer calibrations/preventative maintenance, and promptly escalated critical panic values to clinicians.

Graduate Laboratory Trainee - University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria - Ibadan, Nigeria

(2023-03 - 2024-03)

Completed a 12-month postgraduate rotational training program under senior supervision to build core competence.

• Triaged and processed blood, urine, stool, CSF, and tissue specimens strictly adhering to SOPs and biosafety standards (BSL-2).
