I am an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, and former Chair of the Medical Institutional Review Board (IRB) for Howard University. I am recognized as an expert witness in pharmacology and toxicology for deposition and trial testimonies (Criminal, Civil and Military courts; both Plaintiff and Defense). My area of expertise includes a broad range of cases such as blood alcohol level (BAL), DUI, adverse drug reactions to medicines, overdose of medicines, drug interactions, and personal injury resulting from an exposure to medicines, effects from drug abuse or industrial chemicals, and induction of cancer by chemicals, as well as matters dealing with the IRB. I have provided written reports and in the case of a trial, I have testified to clearly explain the findings in the court. As a forensic pharmacologist, I view my role as a facilitator to the attorney in preparing a cross-examination of the expert on the opposite side.
