Research fellow at the African center of excellence in infectious disease genomics. One of the young scientists who participated in the project at ACEGID, researcher and PhD in molecular biology and genomics. The work with COVID19 was to diagnose patient samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence positive next-generation samples to understand the genomic diversity of the virus circulating in Nigeria. This data, which has been generated, will contribute to the understanding of the virus and help in the development of medicines and vaccines.
