Dr. Chioma Oringanje
Assistant Professor, Biology
Dr. Oringanje’s research focuses on public health microbiology, infectious disease epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and environmental health. Her work examines how pathogens and antimicrobial resistance spread, persist, and circulate within environmental and human populations to inform public health prevention and control strategies.
Current research projects focus on the environmental surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in freshwater ecosystems, including the detection and quantification of resistance genes in streams and watersheds using molecular and microbiological methods. Additional research interests include identifying environmental factors associated with the distribution and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes in aquatic environments. Her work also explores public health interventions in maternal, child, and adolescent health and uses systematic reviews and evidence synthesis to support evidence-based decision-making and improve population health outcomes.
