Oyelade, Olanrewaju Jelili is a Professor of Bioinformatics, Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria. He is a group leader of Covenant University Bioinformatics Research Cluster(CUBRe) in the Department. His research has focused on the computational identification of signaling and metabolic pathways in Plasmodium falciparum. His dissertation research work has provided both graduates and undergraduates with research opportunities for their theses and projects at Covenant University and also complement the existing strengths of the Department. Oyelade main research interest is in Signalling and Metabolic Pathways Analysis, Analysis of Gene/Protein-Protein Interaction Networks, Gene Expression Data, Gene Regulation, RNA-Sequence Analysis, Algorithm Development, Artificial Intelligent. His academic training and working experience as a lecturer and researcher at Covenant University have prepared him well to be an effective researcher and instructor in computational biology/bioinformatics research fields. His doctoral dissertation was conducted under the direction of Prof. Ezekiel Adebiyi, where we investigated the use of a graph-based linear time algorithm for finding paths in a network of protein-protein interaction in plasmodium falciparum and we are able to predict several important signaling transduction pathways in the malaria parasite. And presently, we are investigating the construction of metabolic pathways using linear and non-linear path algorithms in malaria parasite for plasmodium falciparum, a grant supported by the Covenant University Center for Research and Innovation Discovery (CUCRID).
