Dr. Effiong holds a PhD (Biological Sciences) from Lancaster University, England with a focus on the applications of Infrared Spectroscopy in disease diagnosis. She is a 2011 Fellow; Schlumberger Faculty for the Future Foundation program and is interested in projects which show the applications of Infrared spectroscopy towards improving time to diagnosis, a robust understanding of molecular stages of cancer and infectious disease. Her research career has been inspired majorly by Prof. Ekaete I. U. Etuk (of blessed memory) and her PhD supervisor Prof. Francis L. Martin.
