Lab Members
Meet my current students
The Awosile Lab is powered by a dynamic and interdisciplinary team committed to advancing public health through One Health, epidemiology, and antimicrobial resistance research. We bring together researchers, students, and collaborators across disciplines to tackle some of the most pressing health challenges of our time.
Emma Teague (MSc Student)
Emma Teague is a passionate Master’s student in Veterinary Sciences. Her academic training
emphasizes One Health principles, including coursework in Applied One Health, Population
Health and Management, Food Safety, and One Welfare. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a minor in Chemistry from Texas Tech University in May 2024.
She began her role as a graduate research assistant in The Awosile Lab in January of 2025. Her current research focuses on using many multivariate approaches to explore the distribution and diversity of Salmonella serovars isolated from food animal sources, including cattle, swine, chickens, and turkeys, at different critical points of slaughter and processing, such as cecal, hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), and retail in relation to human-derived serovars.
Through her research, Emma is driven to contribute to veterinary science by advancing
Through her research, Emma is driven to contribute to veterinary science by advancing
food safety and disease prevention efforts that protect human and animal health. Guided by
One Health and One Welfare principles, she aims to contribute research that improves animal
health, public health, and food safety.
Godwin Pius Ohemu (PhD Student)
Godwin Pius Ohemu is a PhD student in One Health Sciences at Texas Tech University, where his research focuses on the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across human, animal, and environmental health systems. His work applies interdisciplinary One Health approaches to investigate the drivers, transmission dynamics, and mitigation strategies of drug-resistant infections in both companion and livestock animals. He holds an undergraduate degree in Science Laboratory Technology (Microbiology), an MSc in Epidemiology, both from the University of Port Harcourt, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Global Health Research from the University of Oxford.
Godwin’s research combines surveillance data analysis and qualitative expert inquiry to address gaps in AMR governance, awareness, and policy implementation. He has led and contributed to studies examining global AMR priority setting and comparative analyses of AMR surveillance dashboards across One Health domains. His scholarly outputs include peer-reviewed publications, scoping and mixed-methods studies, and the development of digital AMR knowledge-sharing tools.
Beyond his doctoral research, Godwin actively engages in global research capacity strengthening and science communication, collaborating with international partners. He has coordinated and moderated global AMR webinars, contributed to open-access research resources, and supported policy–research dialogues aimed at improving One Health outcomes. Through his academic, leadership, and outreach activities, Godwin seeks to advance evidence-informed AMR mitigation strategies, promote cross-sector collaboration, and strengthen global responses to antimicrobial resistance.
