About

Dr. John Kwaku Kutor is a Senior Lecturer with an extensive background in bioinstrumentation, nanotechnology, and neuroscience. His research focuses on innovative methods for medical diagnostics and treatment, including speech signal analysis as a tool for asthma diagnosis and the use of magnetic nanocomposite probes for tumor ablation. He holds a BSc and MSc from the University of Cape Coast and a PhD from Zhejiang University, where he contributed to pioneering studies on nitric oxide distribution in neurons and intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Dr. Kutor has published widely in fields ranging from speech technology to nanomedicine, and his interdisciplinary approach is reflected in his work across bioengineering, signal processing, and molecular imaging.
