Research activities

Key areas: Medical research, Antimicrobial resistance mechanism, Antimicrobial Agents, Antibiofilm Strategies

My research focuses on microbial biofilms, particularly their role in chronic environments and antimicrobial resistance. My academic journey has been shaped by a strong interest in understanding the complex interactions between biofilm-forming pathogens and host tissues, and how these interactions influence healing outcomes and therapeutic efficacy.

My expertise spans microbiology, molecular biology, and translational antiinfectives research. My expertise spans  extensively characterising biofilm formation in clinically relevant pathogens, exploring their resistance mechanisms, and evaluating novel strategies for biofilm disruption. This includes the use of antimicrobial agents, natural products, and green nanoderived materials. I am interested in how biofilms contribute to chronic infections, and how targeted interventions to improve clinical outcomes from bench to bedside.

Biography

Dr. Blessing Oyedemi Mbaebie is a Lecturer in Biosciences and an active researcher in microbial biofilms and antimicrobial resistance( AMR).  She brings over a decade of experience investigating the role of biofilms in chronic infections, with a particular focus on their impact on chronic infections and developing antiinfectives strategies Her research integrates both medical microbiology, molecular biology, bioanalytical methods  and translational therapeutics.

Her work aligns with Middlesex University’s strategic themes of Sustainability of Communities and the Environment and Equity and Improvements in Health and Wellbeing. Dr. Oyedemi applied research sits at the interface of microbial pathogenesis and clinical innovation, aiming to develop biofilm-targeted solutions that improve healing outcomes and reduce infection-related complications.

Her research frequently informs clinical practice and contributes to public health policy through partnerships with academic, industry and health institutions.
