My name is Dr. Temitope ‘Wunmi Ladi-Akinyemi, I am a female and from the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria. I am married with four children. I was born in the 70s. I graduated from Olabisi Onabanjo University in 2003 with MBChB. I did residency training in the teaching hospital of the same University where I graduated. I finished residency training in 2014. I had always believed in preventive aspect of medicine, hence I trained as a Public Health physician. My areas of research interest are; prevention and control of STI and HIV, Adolescent Health, Maternal and Child Health, Mental Health and Health Economics. I presently work as a senior lecturer in the department of Community Health and Primary Care, College of Medicine of the University of Lagos, Lagos State Nigeria.
My experience in the Emory-Nigeria Research Training Program:
I am a part of the second cohort of trainee on Emory-Nigeria RTP. I am still working on my proposed research. I have always worked with my Nigeria mentors (Professor AT Onajole and Professor SA Akanmu) and it has always been a wonderful working experience. I also have a US mentor on this grant, it has been an awesome experience working with Professor Jessica Maples-Keller. My experience with Emory-Nigeria RTP has been wonderful and it has really helped me with advancing in my career as a lecturer and as a researcher. I have been able to learn more on the use of SPSS, improve my skill on grant writing and presently learning how to write programming using R studio.
