Oluwole Awosika

Oluwole Awosika is an Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, specializing in Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine. His research focuses on stroke recovery, spasticity management, and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques.

• Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Physiological Science from University of California, Los Angeles (2003)
• Medical Degree from University of Illinois-Chicago College of Medicine (2011)
• Residency in Adult Neurology Research at Massachusetts General/Brigham and Women’s Hospitals/Harvard Medical School (2012)
• Fellowship in Clinical Neurorehabilitation at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital (2015)

His work examines locomotor training through backward/forward treadmill exercises and transcranial/spinal stimulation to enhance post-stroke recovery. Key findings include insights into functional connectivity of subcortical locomotor centers and cortical superficial siderosis as a predictor of recurrent hemorrhage.

Dr. Awosika has received competitive grants from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (R01HD093694, R21HD115776) and private awards from the American Academy of Neurology (2020 Career Development Award, 2024 MSR Scholarship). His scientific contributions span locomotor neuroplasticity, cognitive deficits in stroke survivors, and spinal cord repair strategies.

• American Academy of Neurology 2020 Career Development Award
• American Academy of Neurology 2024 MSR Scholarship

His clinical expertise includes in-patient/out-patient neurorehabilitation, spasticity management, and neuropathic pain treatment. He is board-certified in Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology since 2012.
