I am also keen to explore how these tumour derived elements present in blood can be used to detect clinically actionable mutations and driver mutations that initiate metastasis. Furthermore, part of my research focuses on evaluating the interactions of blood group antigens with antibodies and their roles in susceptibility and resistance to diseases. My ultimate goal is to translate my research into improving clinical outcomes using multidisciplinary approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marie Curie Alumni<\/li><\/ul>\n<p><strong>Selected Most Recent Publications &nbsp;\/Contributions to Knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Ogidi Nkeiruka, Okunola Ayoola, Oyeleke Ganiyat,Udofia Sunday, Oyedeji Kolawole&nbsp;(2025)<sup>, <\/sup>Association of secretor status, ABO and Lewis blood group phenotype with <em><i>H Pylori<\/i><\/em>&nbsp;infection in patients with dyspepsia attending an outpatient gastroenterology clinic in a Lagos tertiary hospital.
