What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters scientific innovation and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated Microbiology Graduate with a Master’s degree in progress from Covenant University. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to scientific discovery, evidenced by my research on the antibacterial properties of probiotic Lactobacillus species. I have honed my skills in data analysis and laboratory techniques, including DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction, which have equipped me to tackle complex challenges in microbiology.

Throughout my internships and research projects, I have demonstrated meticulous attention to detail and a collaborative approach to achieving research goals. My experience spans various roles, including laboratory intern at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and graduate intern at Olabisi Onabanjo University Health Centre, where I maintained patient records and assisted in laboratory procedures. I am passionate about advancing scientific knowledge and am eager to contribute to innovative research initiatives.
