Short Bio:
Titilayo Mabogunje is a M.D. candidate at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. She lived in England, Nigeria, and South Africa, before moving to the United States where she completed degrees in Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology and Theatre Studies at Yale University. She is interested in global health work and most recently, her research interests have taken her to Tanzania where she worked on a study looking at the differences in hearing test performance between people living with and without HIV/AIDS. In her free time, if she’s not working on her next baking challenge, telling punny dad jokes, or making plans to explore a new place, you’ll probably find her traversing the intersection of medicine and the performing arts.
