Biography

Dr Nwaogu is a Biochemist, interested in Biochemical and Environmental Toxicology. I have used biochemical tools to investigate the effects of some environmental pollutants [crude oil and its refined products, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals and Gas flares] on living organisms (plants) especially Riped guava (Psidium guajava), Fluted pumpkin (Telfaria occidentalis), LocalGreen (Amaranthus hybridus)leaves and (animals) especially Albino rats, the Native fowl (Gallusdomesticus) and Humans. I have over 81 publications of my findings in these areas in both Local and International Journals.

Research Interest

Dr Nwaogu is a Biochemist, interested in Biochemical and Environmental Toxicology.

I have over 81 publications of my findings in these areas in both Local and International Journals.

Dr Nwaogu is presently investigating the Impact of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Pollution (Gas Flaring) on Biochemical Parameters [Energy metabolism, Haematological, Kidney, Liver function parameters and Lipid profile] of Inhabitants (Adult Men and Women) Living in Ebocha, Niger Delta Area in Collaboration with General Hospital, Egbema.
