Summary of Profile

Obinna is actively involved in bioremediation of persistent organic pollutants in the environment .His research focus is on studies of incidence of persistent organic pollutants within our environment (Soil and water). His studies hinges on the bacterial plasmids/ dehalogenase that are utilized by bacterial species in degrading persistent organic pollutants within our tropical environment; assay of the metabolites which determine the pathway followed by the novel bacterial species and development of gene data bank. He has to his credit, eleven gene sequences (16S rRNA) of new bacterial strains deposited at the National center for biotechnology Maryland USA http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/359392479?report=genbank&log$=nucltop&blast_rank=1&RID=7ST5TNB6015, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/359392480?report=genbank&log$=nucltop&blast_rank=1&RID=7V4XH2AW01N. He has published several articles in international journals with high citation index http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5AfuAA4AAAAJ&hl=en. He is a faculty in the Department of Biological sciences, Covenant University, Ota Ogun State, Nigeria. Obinna is happily married to Bar.(Mrs) Chinelo Nwinyi and blessed with children
