Personal Statement 

I have an extensive research experience in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), One Health and natural product discovery from plants and microbial sources. My research focuses on combating multidrug-resistant bacteria by investigating the genetic basis of their resistance to antibiotics and exploring mitigation strategies from clinical settings and One health perspectives. Additionally, I conduct bioprospecting to identify promising lead compounds for the development of novel antimicrobial agents against infectious bacteria. I have honed my

skills in various qualitative and quantitative research techniques used to analyze and interpret big data generated by high-throughput technologies for investigating AMR across diverse environments. My collaborative spirit extends both within and beyond Nigeria, fostering productive partnerships.
