  • Area of Specialization: NEUROPHARMACOLOGY
  • Department of Pharmacology

  • Dr. Ben-Azu Benneth is a Neuropharmacologist and is an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Delta State University, Nigeria. His research interest includes schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease research, and psychosocial stress. His research skills include behavioural sciences, immunophenotypying, golgi staining, immunohistochemistry and biochemical pharmacology on ELISA techniques. Of note, his master and PhD training were centered on schizophrenia research. His doctoral thesis was entitled “Evaluation of the antipsychotic property of morin and underlying mechanisms of action in experimental mice”. During his doctoral studies, Dr. Ben-Azu was able to publish four original articles relating to his PhD findings before his final defense date, and two more original articles after, resulting in him being a recipient of the highly coveted prize, “Publication of Article Award from PhD Thesis” from the postgraduate school of the University of Ibadan. This was award that was received for the first time in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics and remains unachieved by any other PhD student in the department. He was able to use golgi staining technique during his PhD research work on schizophrenia, published with International Immunopharmacology to show that the first-generation antipsychotic drug, haloperidol contributes to the worsening of negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia via degeneration of cortical pyramidal neurons through mechanisms associated with neuroinflammation. He was recently ranked 52 among top 500 authors, by scholarly output in Nigeria over the period 2021 to 2022 by Elsevier (SciVal ranking). He has participated in series of knowledge translational International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) and International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) courses including attending the joint sponsored flagship program by IBRO-ISN. He has attended two advanced specialized neuroscience courses organized by IBRO within Africa including the IBRO-University of Cape Town (UCT) African Advanced School on Neuroimmunology and the Gut-Brain Axis from 2nd to 17th December, 2018, as well as the 8th IBRO-Mohammed V University (UM5) African advanced school on cognition and its disorders” in Rabat, morocco 1-15th of September, 2019. Dr. Ben-Azu is well recognized in the schizophrenia research community, having been awarded an Early Career Award by the Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS) in 2019. He currently serves as an award committee member for SIRS, assessing different levels of grant awards for the society lasting from 2021-2024. Dr. Ben-Azu was one of the four winners of the prestigious IBRO-African Regional Committee (ARC) Bursary postdoctoral fellowship in 2019 to travel to Dr. Marie-Evé Tremblay’s laboratory at the Division of Medical Sciences, University of Victoria, BC, Canada to study how microglial remodels neuronal circuits in a two-hit mouse model of schizophrenia. During his six months postdoctoral training in Dr. Tremblay’s lab, he was trained on immunohistochemistry, optimized immunofluorescence staining and virtual electron microscope, as well as grant writing and leadership skills. Recently, Dr. Ben-Azu and his PhD co-supervisor, Prof. Solomon Umukoro in neuropharmacology lab, Department of Pharmacology, University of Ibadan, were awarded the 2022 IBRO Meeting Support of 8000 Euro to host a 4-days symposium on “Neurobiology of stress: from neuropathological perspectives to methodologies and molecular adaptogenic mechanisms”, targeting PhD students and early postdocs in West Africa. Dr. Ben-Azu has supervised over 150 undergraduate students, supervised 5 masters of science, 1 master of philosophy, 4 doctoral theses and 1 postdoctoral fellow. Together, he has published over 100 original articles in learned, peer-reviewed neuroscience journals. He currently serves as an editorial board member for several journals, including the International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology and Glial Health Research, published by Elsevier, and as a reviewer for many neuroscience journals.
