Dr. Joseph Anireju LORI
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria - Nigeria
Dr. Joseph LORI has been a Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria - Nigeria since 1st October, 2004. He teaches undergraduate Inorganic, Physical and Electro-Chemistry courses as well as Postgraduate Analytical Electrochemistry, Instrumental & Automatic Analysis and Environmental Chemistry courses. He is the group leader of the Analytical Biomaterials Research group currently investigating the adsorption characteristics and mechanisms of the adsorption of amino acids and proteins on biomaterials especially Gold, Hydroxyapatite and Titanium in vitro to help elucidate the biocompatibility of these biomaterials and the understanding of their surface chemistry.
He was awarded a Ph.D in Analytical Chemistry by the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria – Nigeria in 1997. He was a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the Biomaterials Research Unit of the National Research Institute of Materials Science, Tsukuba – Japan in 2000 – 2001. A Visiting Research Fellow in the School of Chemical Sciences, Dublin City University, Dublin - Ireland in the Prof. Malcolm Smyth's Biosensors & Immunosensors Development Research Group from January to July 2004. He spent December 2005 and November 2006 as a Visiting Associate Professor of Analytical Electrochemistry to the Institute of Biomedical & Bioengineering Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan in line with the Research collaboration on the Asia - African platform funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
He has won many prizes and awards including:
*Federal Govt. of Nigeria, Academic Award Grant for the Best 100 level Chemistry Undergraduate of Bayero University, Kano-Nigeria. September 1980 - July 1983
*Dr. M.P.S. Collins Memorial Prize for the Best Graduating Chemistry student of Bayero University, Kano-Nigeria. 4th Convocation of Bayero University, Kano-Nigeria, December 1983.
*Best Participant Award of the 10th Junior Chamber International Leadership Academy in Japan. Yokohama- Japan, July 1997.
*Japan Science and Technology Agency Research Fellowship for Biomaterials Research in Tsukuba-Japan. February 2000 - February 2001.
*First Prize, JISTEC/STA Annual Essay Competition for STA Fellows in Japan, December 2000.
*Best Poster Award at the 2nd International Conference on New Biomedical Materials,Cardiff - Wales, 2-8 April, 2003.
