Nwadiuto Esiobu, Ph.D. has diverse work experience in academia, biotech industry, professional leadership and as a science diplomat of US National Academy of Science on Global Food Security. She is currently a Professor of Microbiology and Biotechnology at Florida Atlantic University where she microbial detection. As Principal Investigator on USDA-NIFA grant she created the first Microbiome Innovation Cluster in South Florida where a wide range of molecular biology and genomics tools are used to understand microbial consortia and their host interactions for sustainable applications. Professor Esiobu’s vast research expertise and interests are at the nexus of microbiome solutions for human health and sustainable agriculture/soil health, environmental conservation, climate adaptation, public health and one health. She employs cutting-edge and traditional tools to understand microbial communities and how they interact with their plant and animal hosts. Her studies on human, animal and plant microbiomes have provided significant insights to the role of microbes in hair loss, skin and oral health, creating platforms for rapid detection of pathogens, ecological restoration of invaded soils, and improving plant immunity, and human gut health. Diuto is also the founder and President of Applied Biotech Inc and serves as Trustee and Advisory Board member of several professional entities, including the School of Science of Miami Dade College, and the American Society for Microbiology where for 12 years she helped shape the education curriculum and international programs/scholarships of the society. She is currently a Trustee and the General Secretary of the UK Applied Microbiology International. She chairs the Internal Advisory Committee of the NSF Advance project at FAU, serving to mobilize all the stakeholders to provide directional feedback to researchers for adoption of Best Practices in institutional policies. Professor Diuto Esiobu earned her Ph.D. from the University of Louvain, Belgium, and a Post-doctoral training in Molecular Microbiology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA. She is a mentor, speaker, consultant and passionate advocate of all things science and microbiomes. She has received numerous awards for service, teaching and research, including Faculty of distinction by the Greater Fort Lauderdale, and Legacy maker – one of 100 most influential women at Florida Atlantic University. She has been recognised as Diaspora of excellence for service to Presidents and nations on STEM education/application, Bioeconomy advocacy and workforce development.
