معرفی
Dr. Adefunke Ogunkanbi is a Lecturer in the Department of Biology at the University of York. Her research focuses on parasitology and immunology, particularly helminth immunomodulation. She investigates how parasitic helminths evade host immune responses and explores biotherapeutic applications of parasite-derived molecules against immune-mediated diseases.
Her teaching emphasizes active learning through workshops, practicals, and formative assessments. She incorporates critical analysis of research articles and experimental design principles into her pedagogy.
Research methodologies include cell-based assays, transcriptomics, proteomics, and in vivo models of allergic asthma and lung injury. Collaborative projects involve characterizing excretory-secretory (ES) molecules from helminths and their immune-modulatory effects.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though her work demonstrates significant contributions to immunoparasitology. She has published joint first-authorship articles and collaborated with international researchers in the field.
