Bio
Dr. Olujimi Ajijola is an interventional cardiac electrophysiologist, and autonomic neuroscientist focused on understanding how neuromodulation may be aimed at repairing the heart and preventing sudden cardiac death. A recipient of the NIH Director’s New Innovator award, Dr. Ajijola was recently named a New Voice for Science by the National Academy of Sciences. He serves as director of the Clinical Autonomic Neuroscience Programs, and Autonomic Testing Laboratory.
