Associate Toxicologist

Ife joined Broughton with in-depth knowledge of the impact of environmental chemicals on humans and the environment.

• Experience in assay development, hazard assessment, and environmental risk assessment
• Associate Toxicologist for the UK Toxicology team at Broughton Life Sciences

Ifeoluwa Omoyeni is an Associate Toxicologist at Broughton. Her educational background includes a joint master’s degree in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology from the University of Liege, University of Porto and the University of the Basque country which was fully funded by the Erasmus Mundus scholarships. Whilst doing her masters she developed her research skills in understanding how chemical exposures may cause adverse outcomes using new approach methods such as the use of fish embryos for testing, in vitro assays and gained first-hand experience in hazard assessment and environmental risk assessment of chemical compounds. She proceeded to gain further research skills at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Germany where she carried out her thesis research which focused on the effects of “forever” compounds on neurodevelopment using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. She has also worked on the developmental toxicity of emerging contaminants.

Ife is passionate about contributing to the general knowledge of the harmful actions of chemical substances, being part of the solution to chemical safety and regulatory challenges and working on the interface of science and technology that better shapes toxicological risk assessment.
