EDUCATION AND TRAINING

. GRADUATE

University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada

PhD Microbiology- February 1997

. University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria

MPhil Applied Microbiology- February 1988

. UNDER GRADUATE

. University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria

BSc Applied Biology (Microbiology) - July 1984.

. POSTGRADUATE

. Center for Macromolecular Crystallography, University of Alabama

at Birmingham.

o Postdoctoral Fellow 1996-1997: Carried out cloning and

protein expression of interleukin-10 including HPLC

purification of the resultant protein using protein-

refolding techniques.

. Division of Infectious Diseases, Vancouver General Hospital,

University of British Columbia, Vancouver Canada.

o Postdoctoral Fellow 1999-2002: Worked on a patented DNA-
