Research and Teaching Interests

Dr. Banky Olatosi's research interests are in the fields of Health Analytics, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19. Currently, he is funded by NIH to study both HIV treatment gaps, viral suppression, and the COVID-19 pandemic in South Carolina by applying data science to statewide electronic health records population data. His work in these two areas is instrumental in understanding how big data science can advance important discoveries in disease surveillance, transmission, natural history, and progression important for treatment and necessary for targeted intervention purposes in the state. He co-leads the National Big Data Health Science Center.
