Dr Selim Adewale Alarape had Higher National Diploma (HND) in Animal Health Technology at the Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology, Ibadan.  He obtained Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and postgraduate trainings (MVPH) at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Dr Alarape has a robust training in Veterinary Public Health using aquatic animals as models. He has publications in revered journals covering Aquatic and Environmental Toxicology, Fish Vaccine production, Climate Change, Drugs, Chemicals and Heavy Metals residues in Fish and aquatic environment. His current research focus is on Molecular Characterization of Aquatic Animals (Feral and Cultured) Infectious Diseases (including emerging and re-emerging diseases) of Public Health Importance in Nigeria arising from environmental contamination and/pollution. Based on the preliminary study, the research has revealed the effects of relationship between environment-animal-human. He is a recipient of BEP/CRDF Global Travel Grant 2015 to attend Biosafety and Biosecurity Training Course in Fort Collins, Colorado, United States of America and Biorisk Management Enhancement Grant (BMEG) 2016 (A grant to train Researchers across Nigeria on Biorisk Assessment and Management within and outside Laboratories). Aside publishing in revered journals, he is a reviewer to international journals like Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Veterinarski Arhiv, University of Zagreb, BioMed Central (BMC) Public Health, Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, among others. He is a member of several Learned Societies including Association of Aquatic Veterinarians of Nigeria (AAVN), International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID), International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN), American College of Toxicology (ACT), BactiVac Network, International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) and Junior Faculty, Global Emerging Pathogens Treatment Consortium (GET).

1. Investigator, Prevalence, Predisposing Factors and Molecular Characterization of Hepatitis A and E Viruses in Feral and Cultured Fish in Nigeria. The goal of the project is to reveal the role of fish and aquatic environment in the epidemiology of Hepatitis A and E Viruses using molecular biotechnology.
2. Investigator, Molecular Investigation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Enterobacteriaceae in both Feral and Culture Fish. The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Enterobacteriaceae family while at the same time revealing genetic linkage between the circulating strains in both human and aquatic environment.
