The lecture will be delivered by Professor Ehimwenma Sheena Omoregie, whose academic journey spans decades of impactful research and global collaborations. With a strong background in biochemistry and extensive international experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge that bridges traditional medicinal practices and modern scientific discoveries.
Her work in Ethnobiochemistry focuses on understanding how natural substances—particularly those derived from plants—can be used for healing, while toxicology ensures their safety and effectiveness. This unique combination positions her at the forefront of innovative health research.
Titled “Unearthing Nature’s Natural Cures: My Expedition as an Ethnobiochemist and Toxicologist,” the lecture will take attendees on a compelling journey through:
The hidden medicinal potential of natural resources
Scientific validation of traditional remedies
The balance between healing and toxicity in natural compounds
Real-life research experiences and discoveries
This topic is not only academically relevant but also deeply connected to everyday life, especially in a world increasingly turning to natural and alternative medicine.
