Aquatic Toxicology Group, Hydrobiology and Fisheries Research Unit, Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan
Aina Olubukola Adeogun is an Associate Professor of molecular and cellular toxicology with special focus on Aquatic Toxicology at the Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan. Her experience and research has addressed and still addresses issues of impact/risk assessment, the functional and regulatory aspects of differentially expressed genes, proteins and enzymes, and the general stress of contaminants, including endocrine modulators in wildlife species and fish reproductive physiology.

She received her B.Sc, MSc and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees from the University of Ibadan in 1991, 1994 and 2004 respectively and a postdoctoral training in Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway in 2015. She has since then initiated a number of on-going active collaboration with Universities in Norway, United States of America, Italy and South Africa. Dr Adeogun has pioneered research into the development and validation of molecular techniques for understanding the molecular and cellular basis of endocrine disruption and obesity in aquatic organisms in Nigeria and other African countries. Her research is geared towards making water and food safer particularly for pregnant women and children who are most at risk from the effects of endocrine disruptors.

Her commitment to cutting edge research and capacity building in molecular and cellular ecotoxicology for sustainable academic and environmental management in Nigeria and other African countries resulted in her recent receipt of the following international awards and recognition:


 * Global Senior Scholar of the Society of Toxicology (SOT) - 2018
 * Seeding Labs Instrumental Access to Department of Zoology for provision of equipment to Universities in developing countries – 2018
 * Grand Challenges Israel Grant for Aquaculture Intergration of the African Giant Prawn, Macrobrachium vollenhovenii - 2016
 * African representative on the Society of Toxicology and Environmental Chemistry (SETAC) Global Omics Group - 2018

She has mentored several young academic scientists at both the graduate and undergraduate levels in accordance with the focus and aspirations of University of Ibadan. Her on-going international collaboration has resulted in training and completion of the molecular aspects of some of her PhD students research with publications in high impact journals and postdoctoral positions in Norway and Brazil on completion of their PhD.

Dr Adeogun is a member of several learned societies and sub groups including Society of Toxicology (SOT), Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), The Physiological Society (PHYSOC), The Biochemical Society, Pollutant Responses in Marine Organisms (PRIMO), Toxicologists of African Region (TAO), African Society for Toxicological Sciences (ASTS), Forum of Ibadan Toxicologists (FIBATOX), Zoological Society of Nigeria (ZSN), Nigerian Society for Experimental Biology (NISEB) and other national and international societies

She has over 70 publications in highly rated peer-reviewed journals and is a reviewer for high impact journals including Environmental Pollution, Chemosphere and Science of the Total Environment.
