From UNILAG lecture halls to top-tier U.S. labs, Dr. Chikelu has consistently turned academic curiosity into tools that could one day transform healthcare for millions.
After his B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Lagos pursued deeper questions at the intersection of technology, biology, and human health, earning a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in the process.
What stands out most is his belief that groundbreaking impact begins in the lab, in the mind of a student asking "What if?" and in the courage to bridge disciplines others see as separate. He has presented at major conferences, collaborated across institutions, and explored entrepreneurial opportunities. These steps show that translating research into scalable, high-impact solutions is possible with Nigerian-trained talent willing to think bigger.
This is exactly why we're excited to host Dr. Chukwuemeka W. Chikelu in the next Lakeside Professional Series. The session titled From Research to Markets will dive into:
- Translating research into real-world solutions
- Moving from lab work to scalable impact
- Building globally competitive skills from Nigeria
- The mindset shift from scholar to innovator
If you're a STEM student in engineering, biomedical sciences, medicine, tech, or simply someone passionate about research and entrepreneurship, this is your invitation to hear firsthand how one of our own navigated the path from Unilag and is now pushing boundaries in healthcare innovation.
