Exciting News from the Lab! 

We’re thrilled to share some fantastic updates from ICCH 2023 in Puerto Rico, where our talented researchers – Yen-Ming Huang (Alum), Adati Tarfa (Alum), and Meng-Jung Wen (Current PhD student) made waves with their groundbreaking work in adherence, HIV, and diabetes.

Meng-Jung Wen, under the mentorship of Dr. Shiyanbola, showcased her cutting-edge work on integrating a Method-Motivational Interviewing approach in recruiting Black adults for a diabetes self-management trial. Her poster presentation on Day 1 garnered much attention and admiration.

But that’s not all! Meng-Jung’s independent study, applying network analysis, a innovative approach, to explore illness perceptions in Black adults with type 2 diabetes, has been accepted as a podium presentation on day 3. We can’t wait to hear more about her findings!

Congratulations to all our researchers for their hard work!
