Eze Tochukwu: Black History Month Campaign Story

CBC Continues to celebrate Black History Month by sharing stories of our students.

Eze Tochukwu is a second-year Biochemistry Graduate student in Dr. Tarjani Thaker's research group. Her current research involves understanding the role of the kinase domain in ADCK4 (COQ8B) in Coenzyme Q biosynthesis and its relation to renal function.
Eze chose the University of Arizona because it is a leading institution in various disciplines, particularly in Chemistry and Biochemistry. The seasoned and highly knowledgeable faculty members have significantly contributed to research and solving global problems. Additionally, the warm climate throughout the year, with fewer cold days, is favorable for those from the tropics. Moreover, the University community is welcoming and inclusive, embracing diversity regardless of racial or ethnic identity.

Upon graduation, Eze aspires to join the drug manufacturing industry, where she can apply her knowledge to develop novel therapeutics for treating prevalent diseases.
