Global Education and Authority:

Dr Amadi holds an Executive MBA from Lancaster University Management School, England, UK (2011) and a PhD in Medical Sciences (Nanotoxicology) from the University of Bradford, England, UK (2019), where his landmark thesis, Effects of Graphene Oxide in vitro on DNA Damage in Human Whole Blood and Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes from Healthy Individuals and Pulmonary Disease Patients: Asthma, COPD and Lung Cancer, investigated nanoparticle‑induced DNA damage in vulnerable respiratory patients.

Dr Amadi’s Selected List of Publications:

Effects of Graphene Oxide in vitro on DNA Damage in Human Whole Blood and Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes from Healthy Individuals and Pulmonary Disease Patients: Asthma, COPD, and Lung Cancer [Doctoral dissertation, University of Bradford]. BradScholars. https://bradscholars.brad.ac.uk/handle/10454/18685 DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.35411.49441

Between December 2019 and May 2025, this thesis alone has been viewed over 270 times and downloaded more than 550 times across 20 countries—including the UK, USA, China, and Russia—by academics, clinicians, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking real-world evidence on nanomaterial safety and pulmonary disease. His research papers have been cited in over 130 scholarly citations, reflecting sustained international interest and use.

His findings have been referenced in specialist Nanotechnology textbooks under Nanotoxicology Chapters and in major review articles on graphene-based nanomaterials and respiratory toxicology, meaning his work now sits inside the core evidence base that others use to design new studies, interpret toxicity data, and shape safety and policy decisions. For senior leaders and organisations, this level of scientific impact signals that the same rigour shaping global debates on risk and innovation underpins the tools and frameworks he brings into leadership and business training. 

Alongside his PhD, Dr Amadi holds two Master's degrees - an Executive MBA from Lancaster University Management School from one of the UK’s top Business Schools, an MSc (Loughborough University, UK), and postgraduate degrees, including a PGDip (University of Brighton), and a B.Pharm.

He is Harvard-trained in Strategic Leadership and Emotional Intelligence through the Division of Continuing Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and further enhanced his global business perspective through the “Doing Business in China / International Business in Concept” programme at Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, Beijing, China. He also completed the Aspiring Non-Executive Directors programme at Cass/Bayes Business School, City, University of London, strengthening his governance and boardroom credentials..

Clinical Pharmacist, Entrepreneur, and Former Pharmaceutical Wholesale Licence Holder:

With more than two decades of experience as a UK Clinical Pharmacist, Dr Amadi combines frontline healthcare insight, risk management, and patient‑safety thinking with commercial acumen. As a serial entrepreneur, he founded and led several businesses in Manchester, including a distance‑selling/mail‑order NHS pharmacy and a pharmaceutical wholesale company, as well as ventures in retail and clothing under an “established‑package‑and‑sale” strategy.

As a former pharmacy business owner and Pharmaceutical Wholesale Licence Holder in Manchester, England, he has personally navigated regulation, inspections, staffing, cash flow, and growth in tightly regulated markets. This lived experience enables him to translate leadership and emotional intelligence into practical strategies that improve performance, protect margins, and strengthen culture in real organisations—not just in theory.

Board-level Leadership and Governance:

Previously, Dr Amadi served as a Non-Executive Director / Company Director and Board Trustee of The Oak Learning Partnership, a Multi-Academy Trust in Bury, Greater Manchester, where he provided strategic oversight to Executive Head Teachers and Heads of School on growth, performance, and quality of education. He has also served as a School Governor at St John Bosco R.C. Primary School in Manchester and contributed as part of an Executive MBA consultancy team working on equality and inclusion in recruitment for Merseyside Police Training Academy, Liverpool, UK.

This combination of Non‑Executive Director training, board experience, and consultancy equips him to bring an independent, strategically minded voice into organisations seeking stronger governance, clearer strategy, and better alignment between vision, people, and results.
