Ademola is a PhD student and a research assistant at the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge. His research seeks to delineate the role of immune system in controlling HPV infection at the cervix. He is the team lead at Research4Knowledge, where he contributes his knowledge and skills in improving bioscience education in Africa. Ademola completed his Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology at FUTA, Nigeria in 2017. Upon graduation, He worked as medical laboratory scientist and public health expert in an HIV clinic and Tuberculosis sponsored project in Lagos, Nigeria. In 2021, He completed his MPhil in Pathology at the University of Cambridge where he studied the role of cervical reserve cells in the normal cervix and during neoplasia. After his MPhil, he was employed as a research assistant in the same laboratory. Ademola’s research interests include epithelial homeostasis, the cervical transformation zone and immune control of HPV infection. During his MPhil, he investigated the cellular origin of cervical precancer and explored the reasons for disease recurrence in different groups of women. He discovered that the globally adopted treatment for cervical precancer does not necessarily prevent a recurrent or incident disease, a topic that he is further exploring for his PhD.
