Ahmadu Bello University | Nigeria

Mr. Awodabon Fomukong Hanneda is a dedicated researcher and academic in the field of biotechnology, currently serving as a phd research fellow at the African Centre of excellence for neglected tropical diseases and forensic biotechnology, Ahmadu bello university, Zaria, Kaduna state, Nigeria. He holds a B.Sc. in biochemistry and an M.Sc. in biotechnology, and is presently pursuing his phd in biotechnology with a research focus on the heterogeneity of stress erythroid progenitor cells using single-cell rna sequencing. His ongoing doctoral work explores the developmental pathways and molecular mechanisms governing seps differentiation during stress erythropoiesis in sickle cell patients. Hanneda’s completed projects include studies on single-cell rna sequencing of erythroid cells, Single-cell Biology optimized enrichment of cd71+ reticulocytes, and analyses of reticulocyte maturation. Beyond research, he has contributed to academia through four years of teaching a-level biology and currently lectures in the department of biochemistry at capital city university kano, nigeria. He is also an apti fellow under the supervision of dr. i. a. aimola. with 2 citations, 2 published documents, and an h-index of 1, Hanneda continues to build a promising research portfolio that advances understanding in molecular hematology, single-cell genomics, and biotechnological applications in health sciences.
