Address:
My research will focus on schistosome biology. I will be investigating how schistosome parasites infect, invade and evade their host immune system, and using planarians as models for understanding schistosome and it’s complex life cycle.
Why did you decide to pursue a graduate degree in iBio?
Coming from a population where schistosomiasis is prevalent, I want to understand this parasite and proffer solutions which will help reduce the prevalence and eventually eradicating this disease. And there’s no better place to understand it than in Newmark’s lab at Integrative Biology.
Educational Background:
Bsc Zoology at the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria
