Aspro Oladiran Olateju

Oladiran Olateju is a forensic anthropologist and anatomist whose work centers on human identification within contemporary South African populations. Affiliated with South African academic and medical institutions, research frequently draws on the Raymond A. Dart Collection and hospital-based CT datasets. Scholarship emphasizes population-specific standards for sex and stature estimation, strengthening the scientific basis of medico-legal investigations in diverse communities.

Recent studies develop regression, discriminant, and machine learning models using cranial, femoral, patellar, and metacarpal measurements derived from osteological and three-dimensional CT data. By testing existing equations and formulating context-specific alternatives, this work highlights the importance of localized reference standards and demonstrates the value of advanced imaging and analytical techniques in forensic casework.

Complementing forensic research, earlier contributions explore musculoskeletal morphometry relevant to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and experimental models on alcohol-induced organ damage and pharmacological mitigation. A review on neural stem cell research in Africa reflects broader engagement with neuroscience capacity building. Collectively, these efforts show interdisciplinary strength spanning anatomy, translational research, and forensic science.
