Biography

Professor Toochukwu Ekwutosi Ogbulie is aProfessor of Biotechnology and currently, the Director of Centre for Research, Innovation and Development(CRID) at the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO). She holds a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Biotechnology, M.Sc., and B.Sc. in Microbiology. She is a registered Environmental Specialist (RES, A306) with specialization in Bioenergy and Environment under National Registry of Environmental Professionals, NREP USA.  She has a profound interest and experience in Environmental Biotechnology/ Renewable Energy, Food Biotechnology, Microbial Biotechnology and Bioinformatics.  She  has  carried  out several empirical  and  operational  research  in Biotechnology  using  a  strong quantitative and  analytical  skills  which she  obtained from  varied international merit-based certificate courses  that she  has  attended including summer  certificate  Course in  Molecular Biology Techniques  for  DNA  Technology;  Practical  course  in  Bioinformatics”  Computer  Methods  in Molecular Biology at  International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB-CEI),  Trieste  Italy;  Course in Environmental  Management as  Registered Environmental Specialist by NREP ,  USA;  Chineese  Academy  of  Science  CAS-TWAS  Food Biotechnology  Training,  Beijing,  China;  Wellcome Trust Advance Course  on  Next  Generation Sequencing  in  Sanger S e q u e n c i n g   I n s t i t u t e Hinxton  Cambridge  UKWellcome Genome Campus Advanced Overseas Course on Human and Vertebrate Genomics in Durban , South Africa;  ProBIOGAS International Biogas plant engineering and operating training in Steinbeis Institute of Management and Technology (SIMT) Filderhauptstraße by  Internationales Biogas und Bioenergie Kompetenzzentrum [IBBK], Stuttgart Germany, Course on Energy Transition: Innovation  Towards a Low Carbon Future, MOOC INSTITUT FRANCAIS DU PETROLE (IFP)  Rueil- Malmaison, Paris, France, Course on Bacterial Genomes: From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformatics Wellcome Genome Campus Advanced Courses, Sanger Sequencing Institute, Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton Cambridge, United Kingdom, etc.  She has used these skills to make a huge impact in Research and Development by yearly training of students and staff of universities and youth forums.

Interestingly, Prof. Mrs. Ogbulie and her Bioremediation research team have been in search of possible environmentally friendly strategies for cleanup operations in crude oil polluted agricultural soil. Currently the team has confirmed the possible identities of bacterial isolates with identical sequence of genes of negligible differences coding for biosurfactant production and hydrocarbon degrading genes required for degradation of crude oil using standard molecular biology/ OMICS- driven Techniques which paved way for the meritorious NRF-TETFund grant to her team. The team is on the verge of developing a construct to create a novel organism with composite degradative genes to be employed in monoculture and multi-culture operational systems during bioremediation. 

Thinking out of box and considering the food security of her country, Prof. Mrs. Ogbulie has through the help of wonderful mentors of Innov8 and iFAIR, developed a prototype automated dispensing device- AquaRES- for maintenance of concrete and plastic fishpond water quality for improved fish farming, reducing the fish mortality rate hence, increased harvest.

 

Prof. Mrs Ogbulie was aformer Deputy Director, Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies (CES) and former Deputy Dean of Post graduate school, FUTO;a member of the University Senate; member of Management Team of African Centre of Excellence – Future Energies and Electrochemical Systems (ACE-FUELS) FUTO, Co-Chairman of Committee for establishment of Centre for Biotechnology and Molecular Biology (CBMB) which attracted TETFund /NUC approval. She has also served 3 terms, as the Head of Department of Biotechnology(2016 – 2019) in the University. She has ultimately contributed to research and Development in the University especially in the field of Biotechnology and the Environment and has supervised many post-graduate students. She is a member of some national and international organizations as Nigerian Society for Microbiology (NSM), Biotechnological Society of Nigeria (BSN),  Nigeria Environmental Society (NES),  Organization for Women in  Science for  the Developing  World  (OWSDW/  TWOWS), Society for Applied Microbiology (SFAM) UK, American Society for Microbiology (ASM), Federation of European Microbiologist (FEMS); Graduate Women in  Science (GWIS)  USA which she is currently the Vice president of the international chapter. Prof. Mrs Ogbulie has attended and made presentations in several scientific national and international conferences and has to her credit, authored and co-authored ninety-eight (98) scientific publications/ works made up of articles in peerreviewed journals and book chapters. She is married with five (5) lovely children.
