Dr. (Mrs.)
Dr. Olajumoke Tobi Abiola-Kuforiji is an emerging Plant Pathologist in the Department of Pure and Applied Botany, College of Biosciences, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Nigeria. She holds a Ph.D. in Botany (Plant Pathology) from FUNAAB, an M.Sc. in Botany (Plant Pathology) from the University of Ibadan, and a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences (Botany) from FUNAAB.
Her research interests encompass plant pathology, mycology, fungal diseases, plant disease management, Post-harvest loss, biological control, and plant–microbe interactions. Her research focused on fungal diseases of economically important crops and the application of organic and plant-based materials for disease suppression and overall plant health.
Dr. Abiola-Kuforiji has teaching experience at the undergraduate level covering Mycology, Plant Pathology, Biological Techniques, Developmental Biology, and Research Methods,
She is a member of the Nigerian Society for Plant Protection and the Mycology Society of Nigeria.
