Background

About Mohammed Oladele Suleiman

As a Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant at East Tennessee State University, I have been working with the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Sciences. My main project has been focused on investigating antibiotic resistance from environmental sources. In this role, my duties include operating and instructing laboratory analytical instrumentation such as GC/MS, HPLC, and IDEX. These instruments are crucial for public health applications in environmental health. Furthermore, I have been involved in field work, specifically conducting habitat condition assessments, as well as various research tasks. This includes managing supply ordering, facilitating research on antibiotic resistance testing from field-sourced environmental samples like sediment, water, and wastewater. I also perform contracted work such as habitat assessments and water quality testing. In terms of teaching experience, I have provided laboratory instruction on environmental analysis in environmental health. This course covers the use of qualitative and quantitative methods in analyzing the environment. I have also offered support for laboratory research and research writing. This includes keeping, grading, and maintaining student and faculty records. Additionally, I have actively participated in project meetings, seminars, and prepared presentations to address current environmental health challenges. I am also interested in the impact of climate change on food security and the use of biodegradation and bioremediation in tackling oil pollution. I am currently pursuing a Master of Public Health degree, with a goal of advancing my knowledge and skills in public health informatics, epidemiology, and biostatistics. I have over seven years of experience as a regional program officer at Save The Dream Initiative, where I design, develop, and execute public health intervention programs using data analytics for informed decision-making. Conclusively, I manage my company back home, Jubidel Corporate Services Limited, a consulting firm that offers health, safety, environment, and other solutions to various clients. I am a certified QHSE, PMP, and MNIM, and a member of IUBMB and NUBMB. I am passionate about creating a clean, green, and sustainable environment that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve health outcomes.
