About me
Dr. Theresa Ezedom is a Nigerian biochemist and academic researcher specializing in medical biochemistry, industrial biotechnology, and environmental toxicology.
Academic & Professional Background
Dr. Ezedom earned her higher education degrees from Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, and the University of Ibadan. She currently serves as a faculty member in the Department of Medical Biochemistry at Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria, where she engages in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research, and departmental administration.
Research & Key Contributions
Her primary research activities focus on:
Bioprocessing & Solid-State Fermentation: Investigating the nutritional bioconversion of agricultural waste products (such as cassava roots, palm kernel cake, maize cobs, and tropical pasture grasses) using fungal and bacterial cultures to enhance feed quality and value-added metabolite output (e.g., L-lysine).
Toxicology & Phytomedicine: Evaluating the protective role of plant extracts and natural oils against heavy metal-induced oxidative stress (such as cadmium toxicity) and metabolic disorders.
Enzymology & Natural Products: Profiling phytochemical constituents and assessing enzymatic, antimalarial, and antioxidant activities in experimental biological models.
She has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed research papers in national and international scientific journals.
