Meet Dr. Samuel Achilefu, a Nigerian Radiologist who invented high-tech infrared goggles which enable surgeons to see cancer cells during surgery.
Before his invention, it was difficult for cancer surgeons to 100% see every cancer cell.
Surgeons had to wait for lab results to know if they removed every tumor.
His infrared, fluorescence-guided goggles allow surgeons to see glowing cancer cells in real time.
Dr. Achilefu’s devices greatly improving precision, reducing patient trauma, and reducing the need for follow-up surgeries.
He has over 300 published papers and over 70 medical patents in the United States.
He was born in Obingwa, in Abia State. Nigeria.
He has a PhD in molecular physical and materials chemistry followed by postdoctoral training in oxygen transport systems at Oxford University.
TheAfricanDreams!
If Dr. Achilefu were still in Nigeria, the best he could have been is a Special Assistant to one dirty idiotic illiterate politician!
Nigeria must rise from these ashes!
