MOTIVATION LETTER The Conjunctive Consolidation Threshold model, a tripartite pharmacological framework for reward-memory encoding prevention, reduces encoding probability from 0.855 to 0.122, an 85.8 percent reduction validated through ODE/RK45 simulation and Bayesian MCMC on pre-registered hypotheses H1 through H5. This model, specified mathematically in a preprint on OSF (10.17605/OSF.IO/EMY4U) and validated in a Bayesian population dynamics paper on Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.20492472), represents a novel AI-co-scientist approach to addiction neuroscience. I built three deployable platforms: IMPRINT for addiction-liability screening, TOPOLOGIX for topological data analysis of drug-protein interactions, and GATE for BCI neural-stimulation safety evaluation. Each demonstrates the ability to translate computational models into functional tools. Endorsements from Kent Berridge at Michigan, Samuel Gershman at Harvard, Nathaniel Daw at Princeton, and Marcelo Mattar at NYU signal the credibility of the framework within computational neuroscience. A provisional patent on the CCT core architecture is filed for Q3 2026. As an independent researcher based in Lagos, Nigeria, I bring a perspective from a region where addiction treatment infrastructure is minimal and computational pharmacology capacity is nearly absent. Meet Biomni, an AI-powered biomedical co-scientist programme, aligns directly with my work: the CCT model itself functions as a co-scientist framework, generating testable predictions about drug combinations that prevent memory reconsolidation in addiction. The programme's emphasis on innovation, 30 percent of the scoring rubric, matches the novelty of a tripartite model that combines NMDA antagonism, beta-adrenergic blockade, and dopamine D1 antagonism to achieve super-additivity of 12.8 percentage points. Feasibility, weighted at 25 percent, is demonstrated through the completed Bayesian validation and the clinical trial architecture specified in the Zenodo preprint. Impact, at 25 percent, is measurable: an 85.8 percent reduction in encoding probability translates to a potential 86 percent reduction in relapse rates if translated to human subjects. Applicant fit, at 20 percent, is supported by a B.Pharm from the University of Ibadan, a PCN license, and employment as National Product Manager at Synthcare. I am applying for the researcher track, seeking funding between 10,000 and 100,000 USD to support the next phase of CCT validation: in silico screening of approved drugs for CCT-compatible pharmacokinetic profiles using the TOPOLOGIX platform, and preparation of a manuscript for submission to a high-impact journal. RESEARCH STATEMENT My research programme centers on the Conjunctive Consolidation Threshold model, a tripartite pharmacological framework that prevents reward-memory encoding in addiction by simultaneously targeting three neural systems: NMDA receptors for synaptic plasticity, beta-adrenergic receptors for emotional arousal tagging, and dopamine D1 receptors for reward salience. The formal mathematical specification, available on OSF (10.17605/OSF.IO/EMY4U), defines the CCT as the minimum combined activation of these three systems required to trigger memory consolidation. The Bayesian population dynamics paper on Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.20492472) validates the model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, confirming all five pre-registered hypotheses. The core finding, an 85.8 percent reduction in encoding probability with super-additivity of 12.8 percentage points, suggests that the combination of three drugs at sub-threshold doses outperforms any single drug at full dose. The three platforms I have built operationalize this framework. IMPRINT screens compounds for addiction liability by simulating their effect on the CCT. TOPOLOGIX uses persistent homology and bipartite simplicial complexes to analyze drug-protein interaction networks, with a minimum viable product for hERG cardiotoxicity prediction. GATE evaluates safety of BCI neural-stimulation protocols, released under Apache 2.0 license. These platforms demonstrate my ability to move from mathematical theory to deployable software. For the Meet Biomni programme, I propose to extend the CCT model into a full AI-co-scientist system. The system would take as input a target addiction memory (e.g., cocaine-associated cue) and output an optimized drug combination, dose schedule, and administration route that meets the CCT while minimizing side effects. The system would use Bayesian optimization to search the combinatorial space of approved drugs, constrained by ADMET predictions from RDKit and QSAR models I have built. The TOPOLOGIX platform would filter candidates for off-target interactions. The output would be a ranked list of drug combinations ready for preclinical testing. The impact of this system is direct: it would reduce the time from target identification to clinical trial from years to weeks. For Nigeria, where addiction treatment access is below 5 percent of need, an AI-co-scientist that identifies repurposed drug combinations could be deployed at minimal cost. The provisional patent on CCT core architecture protects the intellectual property, and the endorsements from Berridge, Gershman, Daw, and Mattar provide the academic network needed for validation. SHORT ESSAY: INNOVATION The CCT model is novel because it treats memory consolidation as a conjunctive threshold: a point where three independent neural signals must coincide for encoding to occur. This is distinct from existing models that target single receptors or pathways. The mathematical specification uses a sigmoidal activation function with three input variables, each representing the activation level of one receptor system. The threshold is defined as the point where the product of these activations exceeds a critical value. This formulation predicts super-additivity: the combination of three sub-threshold doses produces an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects. The Bayesian validation confirmed this prediction, with a 12.8 percentage point super-additivity effect. No existing addiction model in the literature makes this prediction or provides a mathematical framework for testing it. SHORT ESSAY: FEASIBILITY The technical plan is validated. The ODE/RK45 simulations run on standard HPC infrastructure using Python with scipy and numpy. The Bayesian MCMC validation used PyMC with 4 chains of 10,000 samples each, achieving R-hat values below 1.01 for all parameters. The TOPOLOGIX platform is built and tested on hERG cardiotoxicity data. The IMPRINT platform screens compounds using the CCT model. The GATE platform is released under Apache 2.0. I have experience with Nextflow and SLURM for pipeline management, and Supabase for database deployment. The next phase, building the AI-co-scientist system, requires integrating these components into a single pipeline. The timeline is six months for the integration, three months for validation against known addiction treatments, and three months for manuscript preparation. SHORT ESSAY: IMPACT An 85.8 percent reduction in encoding probability, if translated to human subjects, would reduce relapse rates from approximately 60 percent to below 10 percent in the first year post-treatment. For Nigeria, where opioid and methamphetamine use is rising and treatment infrastructure is absent, this would be transformative. The AI-co-scientist system would allow clinicians in low-resource settings to identify drug combinations using only a laptop and internet connection. The system would be released as open-source software, with the TOPOLOGIX and GATE platforms already under Apache 2.0. The provisional patent covers the CCT core architecture, ensuring that the fundamental insight remains protected while the implementation is freely available. SHORT ESSAY: APPLICANT FIT I am an independent researcher with a B.Pharm from the University of Ibadan, a PCN license, and employment as National Product Manager at Synthcare. I have built three computational platforms, published three sole-authored preprints, and have a review article under review at Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews. A co-authored paper is under review at Alcohol (Elsevier). I have endorsements from four leading computational neuroscientists. I am applying for MSc programs starting October 2026 at MUG and Graz in Austria. The Meet Biomni programme would fund the gap between my current independent work and formal graduate training, allowing me to complete the AI-co-scientist system and submit it for publication.
