Olubunmi BALOGUN
Lecturer II
college of HEALTH SCIENCES (COHES)
Anatomy Programme
I hold a teaching position in the Anatomy Program, College of Health Sciences
Education
- Ph.D. (2021): University of Ibadan
- M.Sc. (2008): University of Ibadan
- B.Sc. (2003): University of Ilorin
Research
My research areas include neuroscience, neuroanatomy, gross anatomy and neurodevelopment. Doing a research on the proliferation and migration of granule cells in the cerebellar cortex of neonatal Swiss mice following maternal tryptophan administration showed that tryptophan enhances the inward movement of granule cells.
