Medical student | Genomics tinkerer | Systems thinker with a molecular lens
Curious about life’s code and driven to rewrite it for better health and a better planet.
I’m a final-year medical student with an eye on the molecular world and a foot in computational biology.
Born in Nigeria, trained in medicine, and drawn to genetics, virology, and biotech innovation,
I see coding and biology as two dialects of the same language — both capable of transformation.
My passion lies at the intersection of genetic engineering, public health, and planetary resilience.
Whether it’s decoding pathogen evolution or building microbial systems for Mars, I pursue problems with both rigor and creativity.
- 🔬 Engineering Bacillus subtilis for perchlorate biodegradation in Martian analogs
- 🦠 Genomic epidemiology tools to track viral mutations across diverse populations
- 🧪 Using Biopython and R to build pipelines for mutation mapping, sequence retrieval, and visual analytics
- 🧠 Designing interventions where AI, data science, and biology converge — from outbreak prediction to precision therapeutics
