Biography:

Temidayo Ousade Ogundiran
MBBS (Ibadan), MHSc (Toronto), Cert. Epid & Global Health (Dundee), FWACS, FRCS (Edinburgh), FACS, FAMedS

Temidayo Olusade Ogundiran attended the University of Ibadan and graduated as one of the two best students in the Department of Medicine in 1988. He was also a co-winner of the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan Best Houseman award for the year 1988/89.

Dr. Ogundiran trained in General Surgery at the UCH Ibadan and became a fellow of the West African College of Surgeons (WACS) in 1996, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1999, and the American College of Surgeons in 2011. He received further academic and professional training in the UK, Hong Kong, Kenya, and the USA. These include the Final FRCS Course at Caithness General Hospital, Wick, Scotland (1999); the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) training in ‘Molecular Biology in Clinical Oncology’ at Given Institute, University of Colorado, Aspen, USA (2006); Oncology preceptorship at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, all in Boston, USA (2006), Cancer molecular biology training at the Cancer Signalling Unit, Department of Clinical Oncology, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (2007); and Breast cancer clinical observer program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, New York City, USA (2013). In 2003/2004, he utilized a Fogarty International Fellowship to obtain a Master of Health Science degree in Bioethics from the Joint Centre for Bioethics, Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto, Canada.

Dr. Ogundiran’s interests are in Surgery, Oncology and Bioethics. His main research focus is on genetics of breast cancer in Blacks. With the University of Chicago USA, his team explored the roles that genetics and environmental factors play in breast-cancer risk in Nigerian women and in women of African ancestry. They further correlated their work with findings in women of European and Asian extractions and developed a breast cancer risk-prediction model for Sub-Sahara Africa that can identify high-risk individuals for targeted screening and follow-up.

Dr. Ogundiran is a foundation member of the West African Bioethics (WAB) Training Program, an NIH-funded initiative, now called Center for Bioethics and Research, Nigeria. He is the Academic Director of the Center to date. The WAB established a postgraduate program in Bioethics in 2007 at the University of Ibadan, which has grown into a full Department of Bioethics and Medical Humanities with Dr. Ogundiran serving as its first Head of Department.

He has contributed to more than 120 book chapters and journal articles, has a Google Scholar citation of 4754, h-index of 35 and i10-index of 64 as at December 2023. He has received many scholarships and awards, supervised over 30 postgraduate and fellowship research projects, and has contributed to the training of more than 20 General Surgeons. He was promoted full Professor of Surgery in 2014.

Dr. Ogundiran has served on many academic, professional and editorial committees. He was a co-winner of the 2018 Nigerian Academy of Science Gold Medal Prize in Life Sciences, and a 2019 winner of the WACS’s Victor Anomah Ngu lectureship. He is the current Dean of the Faculty of Clinical Sciences. On June 8, 2023, he delivered the 526th University of Ibadan Inaugural Lecture.

Other Interest/Hobbies

Prof Ogundiran 2

Prof Ogundiran grew up in a traditional African family with farming and blacksmith as the main occupations of his progenitors. In childhood, he took part in farming and blacksmith and also learnt tailoring and playing the accordion. He took part actively in hunting expeditions as he loved running after and killing games the traditional way. His other hobbies include travelling, driving and small scale gardening. Some challenges and hurdles made his early life journey winding and undulating and made him attend primary school, modern school, secondary school, teachers training college, NCE/Polytechnic, and university either partially or fully. However, despite these and other apparent setbacks, he testifies that he has been compensated in diverse ways and through multiple circumstances, too numerous to recount.

Prof Ogundiran also grew up in a Baptist family. In his final secondary school year (1975/76), he became a member of the Scriptural Union, a born again Christian group euphemistically called “SU”. He later joined the Maranatha Evangelical Christian Ministry which eventually merged with the Deeper Christian Life Ministry and the Deeper Life Bible Church where he presently serves as a Church Worker.
