CEDARVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Less than a year after graduating from the Cedarville University School of Pharmacy, Dr. Kofi Amoah joined the Pfizer team developing a vaccine to fight COVID-19.
It s been a whirlwind year and a half for Amoah, who graduated in May 2019. After completing an internship at Cincinnati Children s Hospital, he joined Pfizer in August 2019. When the coronavirus pandemic began sweeping the United States in March 2020, he joined the team tasked with creating a vaccine. It was a huge responsibility, but it wasn t scary, said Amoah. I learned at Cedarville how to collaborate with a team of people from different types of backgrounds. I knew from my education how to seek out information and how to learn from others in a collaborative setting. I had those opportunities at Cedarville.
