Olagunju Adeniyi

Dr Olagunju is a Tenure Track Fellow in Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the University of Liverpool. His focus within the Centre of Excellence for Long-acting Therapeutics is at the translational research interphase, including the safety and efficacy of therapeutics in pregnancy and lactation. His contributions to the field include papers on the impact of maternal adaptations, host genetics and/or drug-drug interactions on drug exposure during pregnancy. In addition to developing innovative bioanalytical methods to support clinical pharmacology studies in special populations, he uses physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to characterise differential drug distribution into maternal tissues during pregnancy and foetal exposure across gestation. He has led a number of multi-centre clinical research projects. He is part of the Pharmacometrics Africa team that run online and face-to-face training courses to expand pharmacometrics capacity on the Africa continent. He studied pharmacy at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria, Master of Research in Biomedical Science & Translational Medicine (2012), and PhD in Pharmacology (2015) from the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom.
