Lecturer II

Industrial Chemistry

Dr. Sulyman Olalekan IBRAHIM is a Faculty Staff/Lecturer and Research Chemist in the Department of Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Physical Sciences, University of Ilorin with expertise bridging experimental and computational drug discovery. My background includes Natural Product Isolation and Characterization using GC‑MS, NMR, FT‑IR, Mass and UV‑Visible Spectroscopy, Bioactive Compound Synthesis, Polymeric Materials Synthesis, alongside advanced computational approaches such as Molecular docking, Molecular dynamics, DFT, MMGBSA, Mutagenesis analysis, and Network pharmacology. I also apply ADMET profiling, Drug repurposing strategies, and Artificial Intelligence (Machine learning/Deep learning) to accelerate therapeutic innovation.

I have accumulated years of continuous teaching and research experience in the University system and authored articles in reputable journal outlets, while been a seasoned reviewer for some reputable Journals in Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, and Taylor &Francis. 

I am a member of Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC, UK), American Chemical Society (ACS, USA), Chinese Chemical Society (CCS), and Chemical Society of Nigeria (CSN). I seek enthusiast graduate students and research collaborators to integrate natural product chemistry with computational modeling, aiming to uncover bioactive compounds and optimize drug candidates. By combining wet‑lab experimentation with in‑silico simulations and AI‑driven predictions, we can generate impactful results, publish high‑quality research, and explore translational opportunities in pharmacology. My goal is to partner with researchers who share interests in systems biology, predictive pharmacology, and innovative drug discovery pipelines. Together, we can leverage complementary expertise to advance science and contribute meaningfully to global health challenges.
