Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, in collaboration with the International Society for Neurochemistry, has launched an initiative aimed at strengthening neuroscience research capacity and training young scientists across Africa.
The partnership is being implemented through the ISN-ABUAD Advanced School on Stroke Neurochemistry and Cerebrovascular Resilience, an eight-day programme bringing together global experts and early-career researchers to explore emerging developments in stroke mechanisms, brain health and neurological disorders.
Director of the ISN–ABUAD Advanced School 2026 and Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Dr Edem E. Edem, disclosed this on Thursday in Ado Ekiti, saying the programme was designed to equip young neuroscientists with advanced knowledge and research skills.
Edem said the school, supported through a competitive educational grant from ISN, brought together 30 early-career neuroscientists, including senior doctoral researchers and postdoctoral candidates from Nigeria and other African countries.
