Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Ajibola B. Bakare's research focuses on understanding the bioenergetics and mitochondrial dysfunction associated with Leigh syndrome, a severe genetic disorder. Bakare has investigated cell-permeable succinate as a potential therapeutic agent to improve mitochondrial membrane potential and glycolysis in patient fibroblasts. This work has involved quantifying mitochondrial dynamics and evaluating the bioenergetics health index ratio in patient-derived cells to correlate these measures with disease severity.
Additional research interests include sleep apnea and its relation to ischemic stroke, exploring translational preclinical modeling approaches. Bakare has also contributed to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including one on intranasal corticosteroid sprays for allergic rhinitis. Their work is supported by collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
