Nigeria 2015
Oluwafunmilayo Oluwanifemi Adeleye was raised in urban southern Nigeria, where she attended primary school on the local university campus. She began her science journey in secondary school, and then attended Obafemi Awolowo University to pursue a BSc in Agriculture, specializing in Animal Science. “I found science interesting and easy when I was in high school and thought it would make a good career for me,” she says.
Through teaching and research, I hope to positively influence students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels to ensure that those I teach remain in agriculture.
Field of Research
We will extract these starches from bananas and test whether they are able to manipulate the microbial population in poultry. If it works, local companies that produce prebiotics can use the locally produced starches instead of importing them.

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
