Bio
Adebola Emmanuel Orimadegun joined the services of the Institute of Child Health, at the University of Ibadan as a Research Fellow I in March 2008 after working as a full-time Hospital Consultant Paediatrician at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria from January 2007 to February 2008. He has risen through the ranks of Senior Research Fellow (2011) and Reader (2014) and became Professor of Paediatrics and Child Health in 2017. He is currently the Director of the Institute of Child Health at the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Adebola Emmanuel Orimadegun has a varied background, including a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (M.B;B.S) at the University of Ibadan and specialisation training (residency) in Paediatrics at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. He also holds the Master of Science (MSc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Epidemiology at the University of Ibadan and a Master of Science (MSc.) in Clinical Trials at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, United Kingdom.
Adebola has a long-standing commitment to the development of academics and research in child health. He began contributing to Paediatrics and Child Health education in 2003 as a Senior Registrar, teaching undergraduate medical students in the Department of Paediatrics and others as part of their clinical postings. He later became a hospital consultant in the same department. He continued to teach immunization, childhood poisoning, malaria, and social paediatrics until he joined the Institute of Child Health (ICH), where he contributed to the development of a postgraduate diploma in child health courses as well as a postgraduate Master of Public Health (MPH) courses in Child and Adolescent Health. At ICH, he has undertaken various roles, including Postgraduate Coordinator, Coordinator of the ICH Child Welfare Clinic, and Leader of the Child Health and Development Research Unit. Adebola also teaches selected topics in epidemiology, clinical trials, and research methodology in many departments in the Faculty of Public Health and the Faculty of Clinical Sciences of the University of Ibadan. He has served on numerous academic committees, internal and external programme validation, and review panels, and he is a skilled and experienced external examiner in higher education. He is passionate about improving the student experience and translating research into practise through education to ensure the best possible healthcare for children.
Adebola’s research focuses on unravelling the drivers of morbidity and mortality as well as improving the outcomes of leading causes of hospitalisation in children. He has used his knowledge of epidemiological methods in a series of hospital and community-based studies to find out the causes of malaria-related deaths and poor clinical outcomes. More than one-third of his publications contributed to knowledge in the field of malaria in children. Many of his malaria studies identified genetic biomarkers, defined some host responses to the infection, and contributed to improving the management of the disease. Among children with severe malaria, these markers included hepcidin, MAD20 alleles, MSP-1, and human adhesion molecules at six different loci (ICAM-1, E-selectin exon 2, CD36 exon 10, and PECAM exon 3). Some of his research findings have already formed the basis for malaria treatment and understanding of genetic markers of diseases. His investigation into the causes of child deaths was based on the need to plan targeted interventions to reduce high child mortality in Nigeria.
He is still seeking more opportunities to advance knowledge and conduct innovative research in the field of child health epidemiology, newborn health, and the design and conduct of intervention studies and trials. Adebola's goal is to become a renowned clinical researcher who is making a global impact by increasing awareness of the clinical course of childhood diseases, improving care, and contributing to a reduction in under-5 morbidity and mortality in Africa through research and policy advocacy.
