Tell us about yourself and your research interests:
I am a dedicated microbiologist and a lecturer at the University of Africa, Toru-Orua, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Microbiology at the University of Benin, my research focuses on the environmental transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and transposons, I am exploring in particularly how animal waste act as vehicle in the spread of AMR genes. With my background in bioinformatics, I integrate computational methods into biological studies aimed at unraveling the complex mechanisms driving AMR transmission in various ecosystems.
In a broader sense, my research interests include infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and the development of drug vaccines and therapeutics. I have previously worked on Chlamydia trachomatis and Chikungunya virus, and more recently I have expanded my focus to other zoonotic pathogens such as dengue and monkeypox viruses. My research on Mpox virus explores drug repurposing and novel drug discovery using bioinformatics resources.
To satisfy my passion for capacity building, I run an o line training platform where we train undergraduate students in bioinformatics and molecular biology. I am to launching a consultancy and training center that combines education in bioinformatics, programming, and digital finance to empower young scientists and professionals across Africa one day. My work embodies a robust commitment to research, education, and public health innovation.
