Bashiru Sani
Microbiologist, PhD Researcher & Lecturer
Microbiology across health,
environment and remediation.
I am a microbiologist, PhD researcher and lecturer working at the intersection of microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, bioremediation and One Health. My research explores how microorganisms and their interactions can help solve real-world challenges, from pollution and environmental contamination to antimicrobial resistance and global health.

Current Research Project
View DetailsAmoebae, symbionts and hydrocarbon remediation: exploring antimicrobial resistance dynamics using omics.
My doctoral research investigates free-living amoebae and their microbial symbionts in hydrocarbon-contaminated environments, their potential influence on bioremediation, and antimicrobial resistance dynamics using molecular and omics approaches.
