Prof. Abimbola Adepeju Sowemimo

I am a natural products researcher with a strong passion for unlocking the pharmacological potential of Nigerian medicinal plants. My work focuses on the phytochemical investigation, isolation of bioactive compounds, and elucidation of their mechanisms of action, especially those used in traditional cancer therapies. With hands-on experience in pharmacological and toxicological evaluation, I collaborate with research teams to explore plant-based solutions for drug discovery. Deeply committed to mentoring young scientists and advancing local knowledge, my goal is to develop lead compounds from indigenous plants that can contribute to evidence-based drug development and improved healthcare outcomes in Africa
