This is a big win for the Nduom family and Ghana as a whole.

Edjah was a pre-medical student at Stanford University in California before he went on to obtain a degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
He is currently researching on how to harness the power of the immune system to fight brain tumors.
His passion for the science world was inborn and as a child, he was always thrilled to get a science kit but his ambition to become a neurosurgeon was inspired by a book “Gifted Hands” an autobiography of neurosurgeon Ben Carson, which was given to him by his aunt.
That inbuilt ambition became a part of him until he graduated from college. Having achieved a lot through much study and experiments, the young surgeon now has his works centered on using the immune system to fight brain tumors.
His father Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, a former presidential candidate for poth CPP and PPP has faced several difficulties with some of his businesses since the financial sector clear up was implemented.
