Benjamin Ayodipupo Babalola works in medicinal and computational chemistry, focusing on designing and evaluating small molecules (such as imidazole, indole, thiadiazole, and phenothiazine derivatives) as potential drug candidates for conditions like diabetes and viral infections including COVID-19. His work also spans natural product chemistry and biochemistry, including studies of plant-derived compounds, enzymes like papain and lipase, and fermented food microbiology. Methods used include computational drug discovery techniques (molecular docking and dynamics) alongside laboratory synthesis and biological testing.
