Dr bannet is a Nigerian-American physician,forensic pathologist who first discovered the findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in Ex American football players like Mike Webster,Terry Long.
After his examination,he discovered clumps of tau proteins, which impair function upon accumulation. It was similar to "dementia pugilista," a degenerative disease documented decades earlier in boxers, though it had yet to be connected to football players. After confirming his findings with top faculty members at the University of Pittsburgh, Omalu named the condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and submitted a paper titled "Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a National Football League Player" to the medical journal neurosurgery.
The movie concussion was inspired by him,he's also a professor at the university of California,department of medical pathology and laboratory medicine.I must say his done a lot for himself and now has been awarded with the American medical association's highest honor .
