RESEARCH
Advancing Neuroscience Through Innovative Research
The Adebambo Neurobiology Lab investigates how genetic and environmental factors influence brain development, behavior, and disease to improve human health and advance science.
OUR RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
Understanding the Brain.
Improving Lives.
Our work bridges basic neuroscience research and human health with a focus on environmental toxicology, neurodevelopment, genetics, and neurodegeneration.
We combine model organisms, advanced imaging, and molecular approaches to uncover mechanisms that drive neurological disorders and identify opportunities for intervention.
Scientific Rigor
We use robust models and reproducible methods to generate meaningful data.
Transnational Impact
Our Impact Aim to Translate into Improved Therapies and Policies
Mentorship
We are Committed to Training the next generation of Scientist and leaders.

COLLABORATORS & PARTNERS
COLLABORATION & MENTORING
Collaboration and mentorship are central to the research environment I aim to build. I value interdisciplinary approaches that bring together perspectives from developmental biology, neuroscience, genetics, and environmental health, as well as opportunities to support trainees as they develop scientific independence. I welcome conversations with researchers interested in related scientific questions, potential collaborations, and students seeking research or mentorship opportunities.
