With more than two decades of excellence in liver transplant pathology, Dr. Adeyi has earned distinction as a professor and pathologist with the University of Minnesota Medical School.

He is also responsible for training fellows and residents while engaging in clinical service. He was admitted as a fellow of The Royal College of Physicians of Canada in 2007. Additionally, he is a valued member of the College of American Pathologists, having served as a member of the surgical pathology committee for six years, and currently the vice-chair of the pathology committee of the International Liver Transplant Society.

Dr. Adeyi focused on mentoring and creating opportunities for young pathologists, and many of his mentees are currently successful academic and community pathologists in several countries, including the USA and Canada.
