Dr. Oghumu is a Research Scientist in the Environmental Health Sciences division within the College of Public Health. He received his PhD at The Ohio State University, Department of Microbiology in 2010 where he was trained in immunology and molecular biology. In 2011, he received an NIH T32 post-doctoral fellowship award administered by the Comprehensive Training in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences (CTOC). During his PhD and post-doctoral work, he developed numerous mouse models to study cellular and molecular mechanisms behind host responses to infectious and neoplastic disease.

Currently, his research is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of oral carcinogenesis and black raspberry-mediated oral chemoprevention. His long-term goal is to identify discrete significant mediators of oral carcinogenesis that can be exploited in preventive and/or therapeutic strategies to reduce the risk of oral cancer development.
