MEET THE FOUNDER
Dr. Temitope (Temi)Adebambo
Neurobiologist • Researcher • Educator
My research explores how genes and environmental exposures work together to shape brain development, behavior, and disease risk. Using Drosophila melanogaster, I combine neurogenetics, toxicogenomics, behavioral analysis, and imaging to understand how sudden changes affect the developing nervous system.
