Professor John Sesay graduated with a Master of Science Degree in neuropharmacology of opiates and memory in both rodents and non-human primates from Wake Forest School of Medicine. His research was on tracking the changes in hippocampal population nonlinear dynamics in rats learning a memory-dependent task. He furthered my education at St. George's University School of Medicine and gained a comprehensive understanding of basic and clinical sciences.
Since joining the faculty of Natural Sciences at Bowie State University, his research and teaching have been dedicated to enhancing students' experiments with scientific processes, nurturing their skills, and inspiring them to excel in biomedical and biotechnology fields and pursue higher education.Teaching and laboratory research are his passions. At Bowie State University, Professor Sesay teaches various biological Science courses, including anatomy and physiology, and serves as a lead tutor.
