Abraham holds a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology with first-class honors from the Federal University of Technology Minna, Nigeria. To gain insight into infectious disease transmission dynamics at the human-animal-environmental interface, he obtained his MSc. in Infectious Diseases and One Health (IDOH) under the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship in which he had stops in France (Universite de Tour), Spain (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) and Germany (Medizinische Hochschule Hannover), a journey which culminated in a thesis where he investigated the role of cGAS and IFI16 signaling in African swine fever virus infection at the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, France. His research project at TWINCORE aims to understand viral biology and host-pathogen interplay of arenaviruses. Abraham combines bioinformatic and wetlab techniques to investigate how aberrant viral replication products modulate host responses in the context of arenavirus infection
