Eugene Marfo Obeng is a Ghanaian-born research fellow at the Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He is a first-generation scholar, holding a PhD in Biochemistry, an MSc in Biotechnology and a BSc in Chemical Engineering from Monash University (Australia), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (Malaysia) and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Ghana), respectively.

Eugene is an internationally-exposed young research scientist with diverse training from Ghana, Malaysia, Germany and Australia. He has over the years conducted research at the interface of engineering and biology, and aspires to be a research academic in translational nanomedicine engineering and chemical biology. For this reason, he has painstakingly developed the capability to independently conduct, present and publish high-quality scientific reviews and research articles over the years to position himself well for his aspired profession.

Eugene is a passionate teacher and a mentor to many young African students in STEM. His role model is Professor Robert S. Langer of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is currently the most-cited engineer in history.

Outside academic life, Eugene is a fine athlete and footballer, and would probably have been a professional footballer if not for his parent's prohibition. All the same, he enjoys playing acoustic guitar and embarking on occasional hikes and coastal walks.
