OUR FELLOWS
Omolara Titilayo Aladesanmi was raised in Lagos, Nigeria in a family of six children, in which getting a good education was emphasized and expected. She was highly influenced by her parents and an older brother, a pharmacist, who helped spur her interest in biochemistry. She excelled in that field as an undergraduate student at the Federal University of Technology and later chose to focus on eco-toxicology for her MSc and her current PhD research at OAU.
In Nigeria, federal pollution standards are either nonexistent or unenforced. But to promote change, we need facts and figures. We need policy recommendations that are evidence based.
Field of Research
I see myself at an organization like FAO or WHO, bringing my science evidence to create better policy, and to impact and direct people on a broader scale.
