Aanuoluwa AdekoyaGraduate Research AssistantEducation: B.S. Microbiology, University of Lagos, 2018
Aanuoluwa is a Microbiology Ph.D. student who developed an interest in understanding the mechanisms employed by Staphylococcus aureus to cause diseases and persist in human infection due to the prevalence of the antibiotic-resistant strains of the bacterium in her home country, Nigeria. When she is not ‘PhDing’, she is probably at the gym trying to stay fit or at somewhere learning how to sing like a nightingale. Twitter: @Aanuoluwaduro |

Hoody A. KargboLaboratory Research TechnicianHoody was born in Sierra Leone and graduated in 2022 from the University of Oklahoma with a B.S in Microbiology (Pre-med) with a minor in Psychology. He enjoys working in the lab primarily because since I was an early teenager he has been curious to understand how disease causing organisms infiltrate and take over the immune system to successfully cause a disease; therefore in this venture of trying to understand them better, the diseases they cause can also be easily terminated.
