Abodunrin, Aminu

Dr. Aminu Abodunrin is passionate about researching the ageing society and health promotions. In 2015, he was awarded the British Commonwealth Scholarship to study for an MSc in Gerontology at the Centre for Research on Ageing, University of Southampton. He had a distinction in his MSc dissertation, which was adopted as an exemplar to train postgraduate students in the Centre. Prior to this, he completed a Bachelor degree in Dentistry and Dental Surgery from the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Nigeria. His notable moment with ageing research is his participation in the geriatric oral research competition of the International Association for Dental Research. This offered him excellent communication skills. Besides, his analysis of the 2009 wave of the UK Adult Dental Health Survey improves his knowledge of challenges facing older populations. Building positive social networks, solving new puzzles and travelling are things that define his extracurricular activities.
