Brief Biography

Dr. Abdurrahman Hassan Jibril is a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. He specializes in molecular epidemiology, bioinformatics, and bacteriology, focusing on infectious disease control at the animal-human interface. Dr. Jibril earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Usmanu Danfodiyo University (2001-2007), an M.Sc. in Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine from Ahmadu Bello University (2011-2014), and a Ph.D. in Molecular Bacteriology and Infection from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark (2017-2021). He is a fellow of the Africa Research Excellence Fund and has received grants from the ESCMID Förderverein and several national Tetfund awards. His postdoctoral work investigated CRISPR- Cas9 as an alternative to traditional antimicrobials in combating antimicrobial resistance. Administratively, he serves as the Deputy Director of the One Health Institute, Acting Head of Department of Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine. Head of Pathogen genomic Laboratory at the Centre for Advanced Medical Research and Training, In this capacity the center offers diagnostic services and next-generation sequencing using Illumina and Nanopore technologies. His professional memberships include the Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association, the American Society for Microbiology, and the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Jibril has contributed to the development of key national policies, including the National Genomic Surveillance Strategic Document, the National AMR Genomic Surveillance Strategy, and the National AMR Surveillance Strategy for terrestrial and aquatic animals. He has presented his research at various conferences and published extensively in high-impact journals. His work in veterinary public health and disease control continues to advance his field significantly.
