Felix O. Olorunmola obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Obafemi Awolowo University. He is also a holder of a Diploma certificate in epidemiology and control of Schistosomiasis from the Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory, Charllotelund, Denmark.

 

He was actively involved in epidemiology and  control of Schistosomiasis project in the Unit, in which a natural plant molluscicide was effectively used for the control of Schistosomiasis in some parts of South Western Nigeria. He is also involved in Antimicrobial drug research with particular interest in some Nigerian Medicinal Plants, with the aim of sourcing for new and effective antimicrobial principles and drug development.  His research efforts on extracts and oils from medicinal plants to combat the problem of resistant organisms covered broad area of infectious microorganisms that are responsible for wound infection, malaria, Trypanosomiasis and oral infections. His recent focus has been on sourcing for plants with antibiofilm activity to mitigate the development of dental caries. He is also involved in antisickling research and development of phytomedicines.

 

His teaching activities cover both undergraduate and postgraduate courses and has successfully supervised seven postgraduate Diploma students, six M.Sc. and one Ph.D. students. He currently supervise one M. Sc. Student.
