Kassim Adebambo

Dr. Kassim Adebambo is a researcher at the Centre for Research in Mechanisms of Disease and Drug Discovery, part of the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University of Hertfordshire. Previously, he held roles as a Teaching Fellow at the University of Aberdeen and lecturing positions at Nigerian universities, including Tai Solarin University of Education and Olabisi Onabanjo University. He has industry experience with Nitech Solution, focusing on optimizing crystallization processes and omega-3 extraction in fish oil using Continuous Oscillatory Batch Reactor techniques.

Dr. Adebambo holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in Chemistry from Ondo State University (now Ekiti State University), an M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (Natural Products) from the University of Ibadan, a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from Heriot-Watt University, and an M.Sc. in Advanced Drug Delivery from the University of Strathclyde.

His research interests span multiple areas: applying machine learning and data science to drug design and discovery, analyzing environmental contaminants like trace metals and PFAS in food and the environment, isolating and characterizing natural products' secondary metabolites, and developing smart drug delivery systems, particularly liposomal technologies. He has collaborated on studies involving molecular docking to investigate potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease, SARS-CoV-2, malaria, and HIV.

Notably, his work includes computational studies on anti-inflammatory drugs against SARS-CoV-2 proteins and in silico investigations into novel Alzheimer's therapies. While no specific scientific awards are mentioned, his contributions to drug discovery and environmental analysis have been published in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Adebambo's current affiliations and past roles reflect a career dedicated to advancing pharmaceutical research through interdisciplinary approaches, combining computational methods with practical applications in drug delivery and environmental chemistry.
