Changing the narratives about science in Africa. Professor of Molecular Biology and Genomics. Director @acegid @RedeemersUni
Nigeria
Joined March 2019
Our newly installed Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system is capable of sequencing genomes of large organisms (plants, animals and human). With this, @acegid is able to better understand infectious diseases from other points of view other than that of microbes.
