Chukwudi received his bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka his home country after which he moved to Ireland for his master’s as a Government of Ireland International Education Scholar (GOI-IES) at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, University College Dublin (UCD). For his master’s thesis, he employed semi-synthetic approach to site specifically modify recombinantly produced human interferon-gamma at its naturally occurring post translational modification (PTM) sites for immunotherapeutic application. In the Kliza lab at IMPRS-LM, Chukwudi is thrilled to contribute in the development of proteomics tools to decipher the complexity of ADP-ribosylation PTM signaling networks in normal and pathological conditions. Outside the lab, he is a Manchester United fan boy, he also enjoys gym and chess game.
