About me
I am a medical doctor and an Associate Professor of Physical Activity and Health. I obtained my medical qualification (MBChB) from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria; MSc (Medical Physiology) from the University of East London, United Kingdom; and PhD (Clinical Exercise Physiology) from Loughborough University, United Kingdom.
EXTERNAL ROLES
A commonwealth fellow (and mentor), secretary of the low-middle-income countries (LMIC) research council - International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH). Founder and co-host of the monthly AliBSA (Ageing Lifestyle in Blacks and South Asians) webinar, a knowledge-exchange platform to tackle health inequalities through health education and self-empowerment.
GRANTS AWARDED:
- Innovate UK: Healthy ageing challenge (2022-24): £1,842,000 (Fitbees project). Encouraging sustainable physical activity in under-represented groups currently not engaging with the digital fitness market.
- £23,500 UWE VC Challenge fund 2022-2023 on using AI to interpret video recordings of keyhole cardiac surgeries to appraise surgeons’ performance, optimise surgical tasks, and identify training needs (IVA HEART).
- Medical Research Council: Ageing Research Development Award (2023-25): £417,631.73; Socially assistive walker to promote the health and well-being of older adults (SAW-Health).
- Medical Research Foundation (2023-25): Impact of climate change on health challenge: £299,134.00; Mapping the impacts of climate change on respiratory health in Nigeria: towards equitable and cost-effective national and subnational strategies.
RESEARCH EXPERTISE
Multidisciplinary approaches to developing physical activity and health
improvement interventions for people with chronic conditions such as chronic kidney disease,
older adults (55+), and ethnic minorities (Afro-Caribbean, and South Asians). With my background in clinical exercise physiology, my research has the potential to develop interventions that are tailored for people with different long-term conditions.
Open to PhD supervision in specific areas of research interests in co-developing physical activity and health improvement interventions; global health with a focus on NCDs; multiple long-term conditions.
Area of expertise
Co-designing physical activity and health improvement interventions in chronic lifestyle disease (type-2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease); Interdisciplinary approaches to developing effective and sustainable physical activity across under-represented groups (Elderly, ethnic minorities; Women); Rehabilitation research; Robotic assistive technology.
