The “decolonize global health movement” has grown in popularity recently. Is this movement new? Is it helpful or harmful? On this episode, we are joined by an expert who has been working in global health for many years and will share her thoughts on this issue. For this episode, our guest is Prof Iruka Okeke.
Iruka is a Professor of Pharmaceutical Microbiology at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Her research group investigates the mechanisms bacteria use to colonize humans, cause disease and gain drug resistance.
Iruka is a Fellow of both the Nigerian and African Academies of Science. She is a Callestous-Jumah Science Leadership Fellow and recipient of the 2023 Peter Wildly Prize in Microbiology. She has written and co-authored many scientific papers and book chapters and has also written her own book.
