Dr Abdullahi Jama

I grew up in Mogadishu Somalia. in 1990 I moved to Finland where I pursued my education further. I studied BSc and MSc in microbiology at University of Helsinki Finland. in 2008 I joined Professor Julian Ketley’s research group and worked on C.jejuni. Then I went on investigating the chemotaxis system in C.jejuni as a part of my PhD in Professor Julian Ketley’s research lab.

in 2019 I started on three years MRC funded research project working on phase variation in N. meningitidis in Professor Christopher Bayliss’s research group. in 2016 I joined S. aureus research project in Professor Julian Ketley and Professor Julie Morrissey’s research laboratory in Genetics Department University of Leicester. in 2015 I worked in Dr. Sinead Drea and Dr. James Higgins’s research lab in Department of Biology at the University of Leicester.
