Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria
Dr. Muinat Moronke Adeyanju is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria. She joined the services of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria, in 2001. She obtained her PhD from the same University in 2015. She has expertise in innovative and multidisciplinary research such as proteomics and cell culture research in the secretion of novel enzymes using fermentation technology.
Dr Adeyanju's other experience and skills also include techniques involving the characterization of secreted and bound proteins from local strains of microorganisms, plants and animals. These characterized proteins are studied to investigate their amelioration of metabolic syndromes like diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease.
Thus, her efforts are directed to the development of protein cell factories and their possible use industrially while targeting them as a means of providing alternative means in managing these leading causes of death globally.
Dr Adeyanju now has productive outputs such as scholarships and awards with continuous efforts in high-impact articles and the generation of patents for industrial utilization.
She has recently developed a keen interest in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to explore and monitor neurodegenerative diseases. Her work aims to harness the predictive and analytical capabilities of AI to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Through innovative research, she seeks to contribute to the development of more effective strategies for managing these complex health challenges.
