He has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills in promoting applied neuroscience research and establishing fruitful collaborations among scientists worldwide. Dr. Nasrallah's research program is dedicated to developing interventions for the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders. His team investigates the molecular mechanisms and therapeutics of brain disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, employing both clinical and experimental models. They have also investigated sex differences in Neuropsychiatric disorders. In 2021, Dr. Nasrollah founded a new community platform named "Neuroscience Network" to support and develop neuroscience in the world. His ability to create a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment has been instrumental in promoting the development of aspiring neuroscientists. Nasrallah has strong collaborations with international neuroscience organizations, he is well-motivated, hardworking and chaired many international event's and programs. He has over 15 years of research and teaching experience in the field of brain health. Nasrollah has been on the scientific advisory board and evaluation committees of several institutions abroad. He currently serves as an editor, editorial board member and section editor of several reputed journals in the field of neuroscience. His contributions to the scientific community are evident through his publications, as well as more than 15 years of editorial expertise. He is an active professional member of EBHO, FENS, EBBS, ISN, ESN, ENCP, MNS, and MDS.

Adejoke Elizabeth Memudu, Ph.D. is an accomplished anatomist and neuroscientist, currently serving as a lecturer in the Department of Anatomy at Edo State University, Iyamho, Edo State, Nigeria. She had are academic degrees: B.Sc Anatomy from the University of Ilorin Nigeria ; M.Sc. Anatomy from the University of Lagos,Nigeria and Ph.D. Anatomy from University of Ilorin,Nigeria (Neuroscience). She has a strong academic and research background in neuroanatomy and neurodegenerative diseases. She is a recipient of a number of neuroscience grants such as IBRO travel award and IBRO/DANA Brain Awareness Week (BAW) grant. Her research works focus on understanding the structural and functional changes in the brain associated with cognitive disorders, and environmental factors through heavy metal induced neurodegeneration in animal models. Her research spans molecular neurobiology, neuropharmacology, and neurotoxicology, with particular interest in dementia-related conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. She is also actively engaged in translational neuroscience, exploring the therapeutic potentials of natural products, including nutraceuticals and medicinal mushrooms in brain health and neuroprotection. She is a member of the Neuroscience Society of Nigeria (NSN), International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN), Society of Neuroscientists of Africa (SONA), Anatomical Society of Nigeria (ASN) and Society of Experimental and Clinical Anatomist (SECAN). She has published her research covering neurobehavioral studies on Alzheimer's disease, depressive disorder, neurotoxicity, in international peer-reviewed journal. She is also serves as the editorial board member and reviewerfor some journals. She has mentored and supervised students in various neurosciences research works.
