Oluwapelumi Solagbade

Oluwapelumi Solagbade is a Nigerian physician-scientist trainee, computational neuroscientist, and digital health policy advocate whose work spans neuroscience, global health, and technology policy. He serves as a Digital Youth Advisor with the Digital Transformations for Health Lab (DTH-Lab) at the University of Geneva, where he contributes youth-centered perspectives to global health governance and the Lancet Series on the Digital Determinants of Health. Previously a DTH-Lab Research Fellow, he conducted a systematic review of 36 international guidelines using the READ approach and Amy Orben’s Digital Diet framework. His work highlighted important policy gaps around algorithmic harms, neurodiversity, and the experiences of young people in low- and middle-income countries, supporting a shift from narrow screen-time metrics toward platform accountability, industry responsibility, and health-by-design. Oluwapelumi is an MBChB candidate at Obafemi Awolowo University and an incoming Computational Neuroscience Fellow at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-7), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. His research combines neuroimaging, machine learning, and multi-scale biological data to investigate neurodegeneration and brain aging, with the broader goal of connecting computational biology to translational medicine. He is also Co-Founder and Director of the NeuroAspire Foundation, where he leads initiatives expanding neuroscience education, brain health literacy, and research mentorship across underserved Nigerian communities. Across his research, policy, and leadership work, Oluwapelumi is committed to building more equitable, evidence-based approaches to neuroscience and digital health, particularly for young people and communities historically underrepresented in global research and policy.
