I am the Head of the retina Unit, the residency programme coordinator, and the Clinical Lead for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening and Treatment Services. My research focuses on understanding ocular diseases&#8217; clinical, epidemiologic, and genetic correlates, including Diabetic, Sickle Cell, and HIV-related Eye Diseases such as orbital, and ocular cancers. I am also interested in ophthalmic imaging, Age-related macular degeneration and retinopathy of prematurity. \u00a0I am an engaging and effective team leader with an excellent work ethic and abilities. My ultimate goal is to conduct valuable, innovative, and collaborative research to advance scientific understanding of how lifestyle, and environmental factors in addition to genetic predisposition affect the susceptibility and stimulation of biological response to orbital-ocular disease while providing leadership and mentorship to junior faculties.<\/p><h5><strong><b>Positions,<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Scientific<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Appointments,<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>and<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Honours<\/b><\/strong><\/h5><ul><li>Secretary, Vitreo-Retina Society of Nigeria October 2024 to date<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Residency Training Programme Coordinator, Ophthalmology, LUTH August 2021 to date<\/li><li>Head, Retina Unit, Department of Ophthalmology, CMUL\/ LUTH August 2016 to date<\/li><li>Clinical Lead for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening and Treatment Services. 2016 to Date<\/li><li>Training faculty for West African College of Surgeon Medical Retina Subspecialty Course supported by Moorfield Lions Korle Bu Trust, United Kingdom. 2016 to Date<\/li><li>Founding member, Sickle cell retinopathy (SCRnet) consortium<\/li><li>JournalReviewer\u00a0(Nigerian Medical Journal and the Quarterly Journal of Hospital Medicine)<\/li><\/ul><h5><strong><b>Selected<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Most<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Recent<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Publications<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\/Contributions<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>to<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Knowledge<\/b><\/strong><\/h5><ol><li>Shuaib A, Ademola-Popoola M, Adenekan AO, Adenuga O et al.
