Profile Summary

I am a PhD researcher in Medical Microbiology at Federal University of Lafia, Nigeria, specializing in molecular detection of tick-borne pathogens, phylogenetic analysis, and infectious disease epidemiology. My current research is the first molecular surveillance study of Borrelia species in cattle ticks in Nasarawa State — work that requires expertise in PCR, nested PCR, DNA extraction and QC (NanoDrop), Sanger sequencing, BLAST analysis, and phylogenetic tree construction using MEGA X, BEAST, and Bayesian inference (MrBayes). I have a strong background in scientific writing, having authored a comprehensive PhD proposal synthesizing literature across Nigeria, West Africa, and global Borrelia research. I am experienced in statistical analysis using SPSS, R, and GraphPad Prism. On Kolabtree I offer: • Bioinformatics analysis — sequence alignment, BLAST, phylogenetic trees (ML, NJ, Bayesian) • Molecular biology research design and protocol development • Scientific manuscript writing, editing, and journal formatting • Systematic literature reviews and evidence synthesis • Grant proposal writing and research justification • PCR primer design and thermocycling protocol optimization I deliver thorough, well-documented work within agreed timelines and communicate clearly throughout every project. Available for short- and long-term remote collaborations.
