Biography
I am Glory Ene Sunday, a Veterinary Surgeon from Nigeria with a strong commitment to global health through innovative disease prevention. I earned a First Class degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and I am currently pursuing an MSc in Vaccine Production and Quality Control at PAULESI. I have built practical experience in veterinary practice, diagnostics, and public health advocacy, having worked as a mobile clinic operator and research assistant. My academic and professional efforts have consistently aligned with the One Health approach, focusing on zoonotic diseases and integrated control strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa. I aim to contribute to vaccine research by blending classical lab techniques with emerging computational tools like bioinformatics.
Research interests
My main research interest is reverse vaccinology, with a focus on designing vaccines against local strains of pathogens in Sub-Saharan Africa. I explained that genomic and proteomic technologies now enable the computational discovery of antigens, speeding up vaccine development. I emphasized my interest in using these tools to address zoonotic diseases that affect both humans and animals. As a proponent of the One Health framework, I am motivated to bridge gaps across human, animal, and environmental health through targeted vaccine development. I also expressed a desire to collaborate with experts in genomics, bioinformatics, and immunoinformatics to understand pathogen diversity and guide vaccine design suitable for regional disease challenges.
Projects you're working on
I explained that I am currently engaged in my MSc program, where I am developing core competencies in virus culture, antigen preparation, and vaccine formulation. I reported gaining hands-on laboratory skills in immunology and microbial diagnostics, while also building my capacity in bioinformatics for genomic analysis. I am opento collaborative research that would further enhance my expertise in reverse vaccinology.
