About
5th year Ph.D. Candidate at UCDavis in the Population Biology department. For my research, I combine population genetics, statistics, and anthropology to study infectious disease susceptibility in southern African indigenous tribes. After my Ph.D., I plan on working in the Bioinformatics industry. I am an international student from Nigeria but I have been living in the U.S since 2014.
