NIKE JESUTOFUNMI IDOWU

 

My name is Nike JesutofunmiIdowu, a Ph.D candidate and a Research Assistant at the Chemistry Department, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), USA. I am also involved in the coordination ofChemistry labs for undergraduate students at UNL. My undergraduate study was at the Osun State University, Nigeria where I graduated with a first Class in Industrial Chemistry. I have been a recipient of fellowships and awards from my undergraduate Institution and my present institution (UNL).

As a Doctoral candidate and a Research Assistant, my research is based on using Chemical Biology approaches, and natural products in tackling global health problems, antibiotic resistance and diseases. I also explore new sources of drugs from underexplored living organisms. I have made presentations on my research at conferences such as the American Chemical Society meeting, the 4th Annual UNL Microbiology Research Symposium and many others where I presented my research.I am an author of scholarly research articles contributing to the field of Chemical biology to overcome health challenges.

I also contribute to the academic and scientific field by been a peer reviewer for several reputable journals. I have served in the capacity of leadership both in my lab as an undergraduate research group coordinator and in my present research lab. I have also served as a welfare secretary of African Christain Fellowship registered as a UNL’s Recognized student association (UNL RSO) in my University.

My passion lies in tackling diseases, infections affecting both humans, plants and other living organism. I have certifications in these fields of my passion after going through trainings from online awarding institution such as the American Chemical Society, University of Leeds, the British Society of antimicrobial chemotherapy and some others.
