@docIzuog1995 @engracedK @winexviv Patents for Product

@engracedK @winexviv @femidobsa Patent for a product (chemical or material), application?

Dangote invested $688 million in education. 0 patents. Femi Otedola invested ₦5+ billion in education. 0 patents. Cosmas Maduka. 0 patents. Now pause. Walmart (a supermarket): 8,841 patents Tesla: 7,000 patents Apple: 116,000 patents Meta: 24,000 patents Shell: 12,500 patents All from university research pipelines. So what exactly are Nigerian universities doing? We are not running universities. We are running glorified secondary schools with professors. Globally, universities are judged by research output, patents, grants, and industry impact, not convocation gowns, social media noise, or strike press conferences. No patents. No serious research. No industrial relevance. Until our universities become research engines, Nigeria will keep importing ideas and exporting talent. This must change. Now.

@engracedK @winexviv @winexviv, researchers in Nigeria are making waves, competing globally and winning internationally. Kindly find some time to read about Profs. Aderounmu (OAU), Christian Happi, Monsuru Adeleke, Iruka Okeke, Femi Ayoade, Isaac Alatise. Just but a few.

@engracedK @winexviv Thank you @engracedK. I wish the writer had consulted universities’ patent registries before making this claim.

@winexviv This piece would have benefited more if patent registries of some prominent institutions (such as @iptto18748, @OAUniversity @UniIbadan, @UnilagNigeria & a few others) in Nigeria had been consulted with the current successes achieved by researchers investigated.

@OnyekaChris15 @winexviv I beg to differ on this. I wish you would find some time to read about this practice in some developed countries such as China. It’s more terrifying than you could imagine.

@winexviv People saying that funding opportunities in Nigeria is low, yes I agree with you. But trust me, our universities approach to research is not it. Majority have the notion of publish or perish, that notion needs to change, we need to start doing research for commercialization.

Don’t skip this.

Our study evaluates the strengths, limitations, and immobilization technologies of bioreceptors in food safety. #biosensor #FoodSafety #Goodhealthandwellbeing

Glad to see our article selected by @Discover_Jrnls to mark the World Environment Day 2025 link.springer.com/article/10.100… Fermentation effluents are potential health hazards that require prompt attention. communities.springernature.com/posts/world-en…

@UN_Nigeria @WIPO @tobi_moody @ElsieAttafuah @UNDPNigeria I’m very delighted to be honored by @WIPO Nigeria Office as one of the 12 startups leveraging IP. It was great sharing the inclusion of IP in our startup and I look forward to exploring more IP opportunities shared at the Exhibition. @tobi_moody @ElsieAttafuah @UNDPNigeria

@WIPO Nigeria Office honored 12 startups at the UN House, Abuja for leveraging intellectual property to boost growth and market positioning at the Demo Exhibition Day for IP Labs 2.0. @tobi_moody @ElsieAttafuah @UNDPNigeria #IntellectualProperty

@engracedK Big Congratulations Dr.

I am incredibly excited to share that we (Dr. N. Torimiro, Dr. O. I. Adeyemi and Prof. S. Muthupandian) received a patent certificate for our invention for treating Multidrug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds. This certificate was presented on behalf of the Federal Government...

Our new paper highlights the potential of soil bacteria in IONPs Synthesis, iron tolerance and some iron-reducing genes responsible for the bio-reduction mechanism. Many thanks to @wara and @MastercardFdn for the support. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iDoIAUifAlI…

It seems like sci-fi. They engineered bacteria to detect colon cancer. science.org/doi/full/10.11… @ScienceMagazine #synbio

@engracedK @FoodSafetyIL Thanks @engracedK Food safety is very important! As much as we need to create awareness on food safety (eurekaselect.com/article/120118), proffering solution is very necessary, especially for the developing nations (pubs.sciepub.com/nnr/6/1/1/inde…)

@FoodSafetyIL Cc: @femidobsa Our lab featured here (Microbiology)

Still looking for postdocs to join my group! Have an exciting funded project to study the role of diversity and heterogeneity in microbial interactions. Please reach out if you are interested, and see application instructions at thelewinlab.com/postdoc

@AMIposts @NCTC_3000 @LualAyuen Thanks to the organisers

We're excited to share that @NCTC_3000 have sponsored attendance for 7 lucky individuals to attend our ECS Research Symposium! 7 people who retweet and reply to this post will be selected at random! Find out more about the Symposium here: appliedmicrobiology.org/publishing-res… #LAM_ECS2023

Currently listening to an interesting talk on Staphylococcus aureus complex, bats, and one health, ably presented by Professor Shittu (@OAUniversity) at #ECCMID2023. It reminds me a lot about the numerous (not-so-pleasant) bats in OAU.

@tee_script Really appreciate 🙏

@femidobsa Congratulations sir

Passed my PhD viva! It feels amazing to have conducted an interdisciplinary study involving nanobiotechnology (biosensing of enteric bacterial pathogens), food, water and environmental safety, as well as Molecular biology and some Bioinformatics.
