Biography

Biography

Dr Moses D Lugos is a distinguished academic and professional in Blood Sciences, currently serving as a Lecturer at Middlesex University London. With over two decades of research experience in Haematology, Transfusion Science, and Immunology, Dr Lugos is recognised for his expertise and contributions to the field. His research focuses on haematological malignancies and the impact of novel anticancer candidates on cancer cell lines, establishing him as a valuable leader and mentor in his field.

Education and Academic Background

Dr Lugos earned his PhD in Haematology and Leukaemia from the University of Liverpool, UK (2017). His doctoral research investigated the influence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on follicular lymphoma, using a comprehensive, five-strand design that analysed T cell subtypes, serum cytokine profiles, and intratumoral infiltrating cells in phase 3 clinical trial patients. He also holds an MSc in Biomedical Science (Haematology) from the University of Ulster, Coleraine (2007), where he focused on T cell subtypes in TB infection. He began his academic journey in Medical Laboratory Science, specialising in Haematology and Blood Group Serology, at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Zaria, Nigeria.

Professional Experience

Dr Lugos commenced his career as a Biomedical Scientist/Medical Laboratory Scientist at St. Luke's Hospital, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, during his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Following this, he served as a Medical Laboratory Scientist at Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Jos, and later joined ABUTH Zaria as a lecturer. In 2000, he was recruited by the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a Technical Aid Corps volunteer, serving as a Haematology and Blood Transfusion expert at the Royal Victoria Hospital, The Gambia.

Dr Lugos's tenure at the British Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratories in The Gambia (2002-2007) further honed his research skills, where he applied advanced research methodologies, including multicolour flow cytometry, Luminex Assay, and Immunofluorescence. During this period, he contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications and taught in the University of Westminster's Diploma in Biomedical Science program for the African Pathway.

In 2009, he joined the University of Jos, Nigeria, as a Lecturer in Haematology and Blood Transfusion Science, rising to Senior Lecturer and Reader (Associate Professor) by 2021. He has also held notable academic leadership roles, such as Departmental Postgraduate Coordinator and University of Jos Ethics Committee member.

Academic and Community Contributions

Dr Lugos has supervised numerous undergraduate and postgraduate research projects in Haematology, Blood Transfusion Science, and Immunology. He has served as an internal examiner for PhD candidates at the University of Jos and an external examiner for other institutions, including Bayero University Kano. Additionally, he has been an MLSCN (Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria) Examiner for qualifying examinations and contributed as a visiting lecturer and curriculum reviewer at several Nigerian universities.
