However, a lot of possible side effects that could trail this lifelong therapy is still very much neglected. Hence, I began to study the impact of ART as single therapy and as combined therapy (cART) on the brain and reproductive health. My long-term goal is to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes in PLHV who desire procreation and have the right to do so and by extension contribute to the UNAIDS core principle of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 (which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages), and to the AIDS response, that \u201cno one should be left behind\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><b>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honors<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Vice Chairperson, Local Organizing Committee, 23<sup>rd<\/sup>Annual Conference of the Society of Experimental and Clinical Anatomists of Nigeria (SECAN) CMUL, 8th\u201311th\u00a0April, 2025<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Facilitator for TReND workshop organization and Scientific Equipment donation to the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, 2019<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">FNIH and TReND Fellowship for participation in gene editing, ICIPE Campus, Nairobi, Kenya. 2019<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Overall Best Teacher Award, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, 2017\/2018 session.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IBRO, Grass foundation and ISN joint award for the 10th Teaching Tools Workshop and SONA Conference, Uganda 2017.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Journal Reviewer, Andrologia<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Journal Reviewer, Drug Metabolism and Personalized Therapy<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><b>Selected Most Recent Publications\/Contributions to Knowledge<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Olumayowa K.
