Wale Ajiboye

I hold a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, a Master and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Clinical Pharmacy. My post-doctoral training and experience was in the area of HIV implementation science research and practice. Prior to my transition into implementation science research, I had worked as a clinical pharmacist with Chevron Hospital, and as an adjunct clinical professor at University of Lagos, Nigeria; and as a public health consultant for the World Health Organization (WHO).

My research interest is focused on reducing health disparities and improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations in Canada and in the global south through the use of implementation science research approach and community-based participatory research methodology.

Currently, my research activities include working with multi-sectoral stakeholders to reduce HIV-related disparities for Black Canadians and for at risk individuals in Nigeria. I am particularly interested in understanding the facilitators and barriers to the uptake and use of evidence-based HIV prevention tools; and in the development, testing and implementation of strategies to increase the uptake and use of HIV prevention tools to reduce HIV-related disparities. My research activities in the global south also include working with community pharmacists to reduce health disparities and to improve health outcomes for individuals without healthcare coverage who are at risk or currently living with cardio-metabolic disorders (hypertension, diabetes, obesity), to increase access to disease prevention tools (cardio-metabolic risk factor screening); enhance chronic disease monitoring and to optimize adherence to medication.
