Biography

Dr. Angela Udebuani is an Associate Professor and currently the Head of the Department of Biotechnology, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Nigeria. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree (BSc.) Honors in Zoology, from Ambrose Alli University (then Edo State University) in Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria, a Master’s degree (MSc), in Biochemistry (Molecular Biology) from the University of Nigeria Nsukka Enugu State, Nigeria. And another Masters and Doctor of Philosophy degrees (MSc. and Ph.D.). in Environmental Health Biology from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria. As environmental health and molecular biologist, Angela specializes in environmental toxicology. With that, she regularly monitors and measures emerging pollutants and their impact on the environment (aquatic and terrestrial environment). Her masters and doctorate thesis assessed crude oil and hydrocarbon pollution, in the terrestrial environmental matrix, the impact of herbicides on the genomic DNA of a non-target organism striving where it is applied. Her further research study used locally affordable materials to remediate the genotoxic substances in the environment. In addition to her academic degrees and her desire to pursue/perfect her research skills she has regularly attended training programs and acquired certificates in international training courses, such as; molecular biology and biotechnology techniques (IVRI India), food and environmental safety assessment of genetically modified animals (Argentina) (ICGEB, Buenos Aires City Argentina), Bioinformatics (insilico drug design and Bioprograming) (IBI Solution Chandigra India), Testing methods and evaluation of endocrine activities in the environmental matrix (Utah USA), Statistical methods in ecotoxicology using R program (Vancouver, Canada), Genetically and molecular biology approaches, control in environmental pollution management (Ibadan Nigeria) and ecological risk assessment and management methods (Berlin Germany/Langebaan South Africa). Her recently acquired skill, “Ecological Risk Assessment methods” was the reason she went on a research visit to the Faculty of Applied Science, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town, South Africa. where, she and her research team, assessed the ecological risk of discharge of emerging pollutants such as veterinary pharmaceuticals in the freshwater ecosystem. Angela’s research efforts have confirmed the occurrence and negative impact of toxicants such as pesticides (glyphosate), endocrine disrupting compounds, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and active pharmaceutical substances in different environmental matrices. Dr. Angela Udebuani has authored books in her field of study and many of her research papers have been published in reputable and accredited peer-review journals. Her Google scholar citation is 255 with a high-index factor of 8. She has had opportunities to serve in many Departmental and School of Science committees and also took part in the successful planning of conferences and workshops as a member of the local organizing committee and chairperson of some committees. Angela is a member of many professional organizations. She is a Council member of the African geographical unit of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC- Africa). She was the manager of SETAC West and Central Africa (2015 – 2017) and presently the Secretary, SETAC Africa. In 2017, she co-hosted SETAC African Biennial meeting in Calabar Nigeria. In SETAC Global community, she is a member of the Global Science Advisory committee, Global Ecological Risk Advisory committee. Other professional organizations to which she belongs include: Organization for women in Science for the Developing World (OWSDW), Research for Life Community (Research4Life), Biotechnology Society of Nigeria (BSN), Foundation for African Development through International Biotechnology (FADIB). A Licensed Environmental Health Officer of Nigeria (Sanitarian) and an Associate Member Chartered Institute of Environmental Health. Dr. Angela Udebuani is a caring mother of six, who believes that she cannot change the direction of the wind, but can adjust her sail to always reach her destination through Christ who strengthens her, doing whatever that is true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable.
