Personal Statement
My research interest is in the epidemiology of bacterial zoonoses with special focus on Campylobacter, Brucella and Salmonella and also antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
I worked on seroprevalence of brucellosis in herds and cattle slaughtered in abattoirs in Nigeria. I also extensively worked on isolation and molecular characterization of Campylobacter and Salmonella isolates from animals and humans in Nigeria. I am also involved in the ICONZ project on Brucellosis in Kachia Grazing Reserves in Nigeria. I am currently working on the Molecular epidemiology of Campylobacter and Salmonella from different sources in Nigeria.
I am an IFBA certified Biosafety Officer in Biorisk Management and have been involved in training of laboratory workers in laboratory biosafety and biosecurity.
