Dr Omololu Fagunwa
Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Biological Sciences
Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences (MHLS), School of Biological Sciences
Dr Fagunwa is a microbiologist who focuses on understanding the microbiome and its interactions with drugs and food, aiming to uncover their implications for human and animal health. His research integrates traditional microbiology with genomics tools, molecular biology techniques, bioinformatics, utilising data-analytics and artificial intelligence.
Dr Fagunwa dedicates his work as a microbiologist to uncovering the intricate connections between microbes (bacteria, fungi, and archaea) and their roles in health and disease.
His research focuses on preventing antimicrobial resistance by understanding and maximising microbiome for global health.
He has expertise in molecular biology, novel precision culturomics, mining and testing microbiome-derived bioactive substance, microbiomics, bioinformatics, antimicrobial peptides and susceptibility testing, genomics, and making sense of health-related datasets.
