A brief introduction about myself.

 I am an Associate Professor of Bioinformatics at Kaduna State University (KASU). I joined the institution in 2005. I hold a PhD in Bioinformatics from Perdana University, Malaysia, and MSc and BSc degrees in Biochemistry from Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria. Currently serving as the Director of the Institute of Science, Technology, and Management Studies at KASU, I head the Committee on Bioinformatics Initiative (CBi) and am a member of the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) National Mirror Technical Committee on Health Informatics.

I have held various roles at KASU, including Head of the Biochemistry Department and Faculty Examination Officer. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I co-chaired the international COV Task Force on Shareome, contributing a pipeline developed during my PhD studies. My research focuses on biological data mining, computational drug design, vaccine targets, and disease biomarkers, with significant contributions to Shareome analysis, a novel omics field.

Passionate about bioinformatics education and outreach, I promote the integration of bioinformatics and data science into biological problem-solving. I mentor students, researchers, and interns and am a member of APBioNet, NBGN, and NSBMB.
