Staff Profile
My
name is Izomor, Ray Niofunimbi and I am a Microbiologist with a strong intent
for a better habitable and sustainable society. I am an advocate of lifelong
learning and I welcome multi-facet approach of handling issues and tackling
challenges as they affect humanity and the environment on daily basis. Thankfully,
there are always something novel to learn from microbes. First simplicity, then
dynamism and among other encompassing things is their entirety and self-sustaining
ability. It is at this point I present to you a ‘student of nature’.
