Anayochukwu Chibuike Ngene is an active member of the Nigerian Society for Microbiology (NSM) and the Africa Phage Forum (APF).

Anayochukwu's interest in investigating alternative treatments to combat antibiotic resistance is motivated by the rising prevalence of antibiotic-resistant infections in West Africa, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, blood poisoning, gonorrhoea, meningitis, urinary tract infections, diarrhoea, and foodborne illnesses. Before we approach a post-antibiotic era, where previously treatable infections and small wounds could once more become life-threatening, he understands the urgent need to solve this issue. His interest has been drawn to bacteriophage therapy as a viable remedy for this urgent issue.
