In our welcoming environment, we conduct research that focuses on patient and community perspectives, stakeholder engagement, innovative scientific tools and methodologies, and improved health outcomes. We are a highly collaborative team, working with many other groups at the University of Michigan, other US and international universities, clinics, pharmacies, community partners, social service organizations, and community-academic networks. Located at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy, a top research university, the Shiyanbola Research Group members are supported with research and academic resources, mentoring, and networking opportunities with leading researchers.

Our diverse team is mentored by Dr. Shiyanbola, who has advised doctoral students, visiting international scholars, pharmacy students, and undergraduates with successful career trajectories. Our lab members hold first-author publications, are recipients of competitive scholarships, and are winners of teaching, abstract, and research presentation awards. We invite you to learn more, explore the exciting research occurring in the Shiyanbola Research Group, and meet the talented members of the team who are making a difference in advancing knowledge that improves the health of various marginalized communities.
