HiLIFE webinar / Viikki Monday Seminar: Iruka Okeke

Insights from the genomes of bloodstream pathogens from Nigeria's Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System 

Iruka Okeke is Professor of Pharmaceutical Microbiology and a Calestous Juma Science Leadership Fellow at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.  Her research group uses microbiology, genetic and genomic methods to investigate the mechanisms bacteria use to colonize humans, cause disease and gain drug resistance.  She also studies laboratory practice in Africa and contributes to collaborative genomic surveillance for antimicrobial resistance.  Iruka has authored several scientific articles as well as the books Divining Without Seeds:  The case for strengthening laboratory medicine in Africa (Cornell) and Genetics:  Genes, Genomes and Evolution (Oxford).  She is a Fellow of the Nigerian and African Academies of Science.
