Hi, my name is Olanrewaju “Lanre” Adisa. I was born in Ibadan, Nigeria. My family immigrated to the US and I was raised in Oviedo, Florida, a town right outside of Orlando. I first moved to Durham in 2013 and studied Chemistry and Global Health as a Duke undergraduate and practice player for the Duke Women’s Basketball team. Following graduation, I stuck around and worked as a public health analyst for a non-profit research institute here in the research triangle. I joined the PCLT program after meeting compassionate students, staff, and faculty who value community and preventative health in Durham and beyond. I have interests in Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Emergency Medicine. This year, I’ll be doing community-engaged pediatric sickle cell research and advocating for students as a representative on the Committee for Appropriate Treatment of Learners (CATL).
