(Hons.), as the best graduating student of my class, and subsequently awarded the Late Dr. (Mrs.) O.O. Apampa prize in the Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria 2004 (with a CGPA of 4.47 over 5.00). I have in addition M.Sc. Microbiology and Ph.D. in Food Microbiology. My research interest is multifaceted, spanning through Molecular Microbiology, Ecology and Biotechnology, Food Science and Nutrition, Functional Food Products, Starter Cultures Development and Probiotics, as well as, Bioinformatics. I am keenly interested in the microbial genomic structure and function of different traditional spontaneously fermented food ecosystems in West Africa; metagenomic and high-throughput sequencing, culture-dependent DNA fingerprinting techniques, metabolomics and screening of food-borne microbiome for health-beneficial functions. My post-doctoral and pre-doctoral research experiences were at the Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Imphal, India and National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI), Karnal, India, funded by Govt. of India and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). These opportunities immensely contributed to the successful completion of my Ph.D. in Microbiology at the University of Lagos, including a twenty-one (21) month post-doctoral studies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>DBT-TWAS<\/strong> <strong>Postdoctoral Fellow<\/strong>, National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI), Karnal, Haryana, India under DBT-TWAS Postdoctoral Fellowship<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>INSA-JRD TATA<\/strong> <strong>Postgraduate Fellow<\/strong>, National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI), Karnal, Haryana, India under INSA-JRD TATA Postgraduate Fellowship<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>DBT-TWAS<\/strong> <strong>Postgraduate Fellow<\/strong>, Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Imphal, Manipur, India under DBT-TWAS Postgraduate Fellowship<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Patron<\/strong>, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) University of Lagos Club<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Selected Most Recent Publications\/Contributions to Knowledge\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Buraimoh, O.M.,<strong> Adewumi, G.A., <\/strong>Akinyemi, N.M., Amund, O.O., Ilori, M.O., Michel, F.C.
