Bio

I am a BiochemisT,Research Assistant and Ag. Laboratory Manager (Administration) at the Biomedical Science Research and Training Centre (BioRTC), Yobe State University, Damaturu. I work under Professor Mahmoud Maina, supporting his pioneering work to establish the first African iPS cell line, a project where I apply my bioinformatics skills alongside laboratory expertise.

I hold a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from Federal University Gashua and recently completed the H3ABioNet Introduction to Bioinformatics course. I’m currently preparing for an M.Sc. in Bioinformatics to deepen my computational biology capabilities.

My experience includes work at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and training in bioimaging, computational neuroscience, and COVID-19 management. I’m committed to advancing biomedical research in Africa through this exciting stem cell and bioinformatics work at BioRTC
