Paul Akinduti is a research faculty with experience in study of infectious diseases mostly on pathogenic intestinal bacilli and respiratory infections with focus on the antimicrobial resistance and he has published 44 peer reviewed articles mostly related to zoonotic pathogens. Paul obtained Associate degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences in 2000 and later was awarded Fellowship of the Medical Laboratory Sciences Council of Nigeria in 2010. In 2012, he received MSc in Medical Microbiology and a PhD in Medical Microbiology in 2017. In 2018, he obtained a Post-doctoral Cooperation Research award from the TWAS-DFG, Italy, for research studies on the whole genome evaluation of Staphylococci at the Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung Diedersdorfer (BfR), Berlin, Germany. He is presently a faculty and researcher at the Microbiology Unit and Molecular Laboratory of the Department of Biological Sciences, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria. He worked as a Senior Laboratory Scientist between October 2005 to September 2017 at the Veterinary Microbiology Laboratory, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. He is presently working on the ETEC clonal diversity, colonization factor and adaptation using genomics and proteomics to underpin vaccine candidate detection and development. His knowledge of zoonotic infection and molecular epidemiology will contribute to network objectives and provide substantial input in detecting recombinant antigenic vaccine candidates.
