Research
What we focus on basically
At The Awosile Lab, our research focuses on understanding the complex dynamics of infectious diseases, particularly those caused by antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria, through a combination of epidemiological, genomic, and One Health approaches.
We explore how resistant pathogens emerge, persist, and spread across human, animal, and environmental interfaces. Using cutting-edge tools and data-driven methods, we generate actionable evidence to inform surveillance systems, risk assessments, and public health interventions.
Our work also centers on the development and implementation of targeted mitigation strategies, including antimicrobial stewardship and policy advocacy aimed at reducing the burden of AMR globally, especially in under-resourced settings.
