Aina Olukukola Adeogun, Ph.D., is a Professor of Aquatic Toxicology in the Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. She has pioneered research on endocrine disruption and developed protocols for molecular and cellular toxicology in aquatic organisms towards water and food safety, especially for the vulnerable subpopulation (women and children) in tropical environments dependent on natural fish food as preferred protein sources. She received the Society of Toxicology Global Senior Scholar Award in 2018 and has recently published on the detection of microplastics in fish gut in a tropical municipal lake and showed potential human health effects due to the ability of MPs to be contaminant vectors. She has published over 80 articles in peer-reviewed journals, international conferences, as well as over 20 first-authored articles. She is the Past President of Toxicologists of African Origin (TAO) and chaired the TAO Informational Session on the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, highlighting Africa's current status
