I obtained bachelor’s degrees in Human Biology, with a first-class honour in 2013 from Afe Babalola University, Nigeria where I also commenced my master’s degree in Biology, graduated in 2016 and began my early lecturing career as a graduate assistant. I am currently a member of the Italian Society of Neuroscience (SINS), Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), Society of Neuroscientists in Africa (SONA) as well as the Neuroscience Society of Nigeria (NSN). I am interested in understanding the processes involved in the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In my pre-doctoral investigations, I have especially focused on themes related to perturbations of the dopaminergic system, including dopamine receptor regulation, and torodent models of Parkinson’s disease. My current research focuses on the use of a combination of two epigenetic drugs, resveratrol, and valproate, as a novel therapeutic intervention for ALS using SOD1(G93A) mice as a model of study, with expectations of further developing and testing these drugs for clinical trials in ALS patients. In the future I hope to take my research further, into investigating the pathogenesis of other neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple sclerosis (MS).
