Oreoluwa is a postgraduate research student in school of biological sciences under the supervision of Dr Mariana Vargas Caballero. He completed his integrated masters of Neuroscience in 2020 investigating a primate specific isoform of the GluN2A subunit of the NMDA receptor.
2021- Present: PhD student
2016-2020: Integrated Masters Degree in Neuroscience
Oreoluwa’s research interests are in the area of neuroscience. Specifically, the communication between neurons and how synaptic changes can lead to impaired neuronal function. He is currently working with Dr Mariana Vargas-Caballero to investigate the structure and function of the GluN1 subunit of the NMDA receptor.
