Biography
I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with a strong interest in infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and One Health research in low- and middle-income settings. My training at Ahmadu Bello University exposed me early to the animal–human–environment interface, particularly zoonotic diseases, food safety, and antimicrobial use in livestock systems.
I have been actively involved in AMR advocacy and research-oriented activities, including leading antimicrobial awareness campaigns and contributing to data collection and reporting initiatives related to AMR. I have also completed hands-on laboratory training in DNA-based techniques and participate in collaborative research groups focusing on infectious disease and drug discovery, including malaria-related research conducted remotely.
My long-term goal is to contribute to applied research that supports vaccine development, disease control, and antimicrobial stewardship, particularly in resource-limited settings. Through joining this network, I hope to connect with researchers working on pathogen biology, translational vaccine research, and implementation science, and to strengthen my capacity for collaborative, interdisciplinary research. Research interests
My research interests focus on infectious diseases at the animal–human interface, with particular emphasis on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), zoonotic pathogens, and preventive strategies including vaccination. I am especially interested in how vaccines can reduce antimicrobial use in livestock systems and contribute to AMR mitigation.
I am also interested in pathogen biology and host–pathogen interactions relevant to neglected and endemic diseases in low- and middle-income countries, including malaria and other infectious diseases of public health importance. My interests extend to translational research approaches that link laboratory findings to field implementation, surveillance, and disease control programmes.
More broadly, I am keen to engage in interdisciplinary research that integrates veterinary science, public health, and molecular approaches to support vaccine development, evaluation, and deployment in resource-limited settings. Projects you're working on
