At AWESTRUCK RESEARCH LABORATORY, I gained hands-on experience in routine microbiology procedures, including sample preparation, culture media preparation, microscopy, staining, and biochemical tests.

I participated in isolating, identifying, and characterizing microorganisms, and practiced aseptic techniques, laboratory hygiene, and safety. I also used routine equipment such as an autoclave, incubator, centrifuge, and microscope, while assisting with sample handling and recording results.

My training also included food preparation, processing, and packaging. I prepared small-chop products such as samosa and learned about food hygiene, product presentation, and basic costing and pricing.

As a Microbiology Technology graduate of the University of Port Harcourt, I’m interested in laboratory practices, microbiological analysis, and scientific research. I’m eager to apply my academic knowledge and practical skills while continuing to learn and develop in microbiology and laboratory science.
