This April, I shall be speaking about the African BioGenome Project African BioGenome Project at Monash University Monash Malaysia 🇲🇾. I shall talk about the vision of the African BioGenome Project, conception & motivation, its progresses, perspectives & why it's provoking actions across Africa.

Excited to have been listed in the Forbes Forbes Europe 30 Under 30 Europe 2025 List based on our works HealthDrive Nigeria and my research at the University of Cambridge Cambridge University . All glory to Jesus.

Today, I presented my PhD research on Indigenous early warning indicators for locally-led anticipatory action in the eastern Horn of Africa at the Conference on Climate Dynamics in Post-Carbon Africa, hosted by the Centre of African Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

We are at the end of wrapping up a cool paper with 6 authors, decided to do whole day paper hackathon at my place to finish it, let’s see how it goes

Pleased to have moderated the panel session at last week's McGill Journal of Global Health launch event, building on the inspiring keynote by @paimadhu. Appreciated the sincerity and depth of the conversation! Amid geopolitical uncertainty & shifting priorities, these discussions remain pertinent.

Very happy to get this paper published in NatureEcoEvo on how divergent selection and plasticity promotes reproductive isolation in the early stage of speciation. Thanks to 1th author, former postdoc Benjamin Jarrett for this excellent collaboration: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Exciting news from CERI at Stellenbosch University! Our team has introduced cutting-edge AI techniques and software that can swiftly and precisely categorize thousands of genome sequences within seconds. Read about it at the gem - issuu.com/the.gem/docs/t…

Thanks to NatureStructMolBiol for interviewing on our work: “seeing biomolecular condensates with computation” nature.com/articles/s4159…

🧵 Ever wondered what Toxoplasma is doing in your brain years after that undercooked steak 🥩 or a sip of contaminated water? Turns out, it's been hiding in your brain 🧠and we finally have a way to spot it. New study EMBO Molecular Medicine 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s44321…

Finishing Europe with a bang - just married my favorite person 🥂

Crazy how Jesus, himself, wouldn't even be allowed in that version of America smh 😪

For a living, I got to study a sliver of the world that truly fascinated me. What a privilege ✨ PhD in Neuroscience from Brown University ‘25

Good morning Brisbane! What a nice view to prepare my very first talk at #LISSSD25 ! Looking forward to meeting people at the conference. #GPS_project #pneumococci #Genomics

It’s my great pleasure to present the Global Pneumoocccal Sequencing project at #LISSSD25 I feel humbled to learn more about Group A and Group B streptococci and other species, and meet great minds to discuss science. #GPS_project

One thing about this lady, she truly understands that nothing upsets the Brits more than joy. 😭

Pleased to have presented two #pharmacoepidemiology studies at the 3rd Québec Epidemiology Students' Symposium & received the Best 10-min Oral Presentation award. Grateful for my supervisors' support & the opportunity to share the research I deeply care about. #mcgilluniversity

After applying to 9 PhD programs, I was disappointed to only get into 1. My mom told me, “Bloom where you’re planted.” 6 years later — I received multiple invitations to give talks, won several awards, was named a rising star, got my paper accepted in Nature. I guess I bloomed.

Some fun new headshots courtesy of my amazing partner (photographer husband coming in clutch!)

I am happy to share that I’ve been awarded tenure here at Columbia University. Alhamdulillah. I thank my wife, parents, mentors, colleagues, friends, & family. I thank my lab members, present and past, for entrusting their careers in my hands and making this a thrilling journey.

First Kolade Lab social outing (mini-golf ⛳️then dinner). Starting a lab is tough, but this amazing and fearless crew (and incredible colleagues) has made it so much easier over the past four months! UC San Diego Bioengineering UCSD Engineering UC San Diego.
