Research Focus
Dr. Ayokunle Olanrewaju's lab at the University of Washington focuses on improving HIV prevention and treatment for adolescent girls and young women. They are developing a fast and inexpensive test that can be used in local clinics and pharmacies to measure HIV drug levels in patients. This technology aims to provide real-time feedback to patients and healthcare providers, helping to ensure that individuals adhere to their HIV medication regimens more effectively.
