Dr. Sarah Okonkwo, PhD
Neuroscience & Peptide ReviewerDr. Okonkwo completed her PhD at MIT studying synaptic plasticity mechanisms and conducted postdoctoral research at the Salk Institute on BDNF signalling in the hippocampus. Her research spans peptide pharmacokinetics across the blood-brain barrier, neuroplasticity mechanisms, and the neurobiology of dopamine depletion. She joined BiohackingHub as Neuroscience & Peptide Reviewer in 2025, focusing on cognitive enhancement and brain restoration compounds.
