Dr. Chukwudi Michael Okoye, a lecturer in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), has been selected for the prestigious Atlantic Fellowship for Equity in Brain Health.
The fellowship, hosted simultaneously at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and the University of California, USA, brings together distinguished researchers from across the globe to advance multidisciplinary engagements in brain health, with a strong focus on the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Okoye, who also serves as the Faculty Career Officer for the Faculty of Arts, emerged through a highly competitive selection process. His research interests align with the fellowship’s vision, building on his doctoral dissertation that introduced the concept of RehabDramatics. This innovative framework explores the application of performing arts as a tool to stimulate and foster healthier psychosocial activities in specific contexts.
The Acting Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Professor Carol Chinyelugo Arinze-Umobi, has extended warm congratulations to Dr. Chukwudi Okoye on his remarkable achievement and his appointment as a Resident Fellow at the Global Brain Health Institute, Trinity College, Dublin.
