Where African Neuroscience
Meets Artificial Intelligence

The African NeuroHealth Research Lab (ANHRL), housed within the Biological Science Department, Sikiru Adetona College of Education, Science and Technology (SACEST/SACOTECH), Omu-Ijebu, is dedicated to understanding, predicting, and preventing neurological disease across Africa.

We integrate translational animal models, clinical epidemiology, ethnopharmacology, and machine learning — bridging bench science to community health intelligence.

"From spice to science — our research investigates natural herbal compounds alongside computational modelling to deliver real-world neuroprotective insights for African populations."
— Adebimpe-John O.E., PhD · SACEST & SACEST/SACOTECH, Omu-Ijebu
